Nov. 18, 2025, 4:37 PM ESTBy Lawrence HurleyWASHINGTON — Seizing on allegations of federal law enforcement officials’ committing constitutional violations as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, Democrats have launched a new effort to allow civil rights claims against rogue agents.Lawmakers reintroduced legislation Tuesday that would ensure federal officials, including immigration agents and other law enforcement officers, can be sued individually for constitutional violations.The bill, introduced in the House and the Senate by Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., would amend a post-Civil War-era law that allows such claims against state and local officials to make it clear that federal officials are covered, too.More than 130 arrested in Charlotte immigration raids02:13″Under this lawless administration, federal officers are using excessive force and violating constitutional rights in our streets with impunity,” Johnson said in a statement. “If federal officials violate the Constitution, they should be held accountable, full stop.”The legislation also comes as Republican senators have come under fire for including a provision in the bill that ended the government shutdown that would allow eight GOP senators to sue the Justice Department after their cellphone records were obtained without their knowledge.Since Trump began his second term in January, his administration has launched an aggressive immigration crackdown. Civil rights groups charge that agents have regularly committed constitutional violations by, among other things, using excessive force or carrying out allegedly unlawful entries.A judge in Chicago issued an injunction this month that restricts federal agents’ use of force in response to such allegations.While the focus is ostensibly on immigrants who entered the country illegally, legal residents and some U.S. citizens have also been swept up. Federal officers have also been involved in clashes with protesters.The Supreme Court in 1971 ruled in a case called Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents that federal agents could be sued individually, but the court has since retreated from that finding. In a 2022 ruling, it specifically said Border Patrol agents cannot be individually sued for violating someone’s constitutional rights.In the 12 months after that ruling, lower courts cited it 228 times in a variety of cases against all kinds of federal officials, NBC News found in a 2023 investigation. In 195 of those cases, constitutional claims were dismissed.The legislation, which has been introduced in the past but made little progress, “would reopen the courthouse doors to these victims and encourage more responsible conduct by federal officials,” Whitehouse said in a statement.Under current law, people can sue the federal government directly under a law called the Federal Tort Claims Act, but damages there are limited, and there is no chance of a jury trial.Lawrence HurleyLawrence Hurley is a senior Supreme Court reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 11, 2025, 1:26 AM EST / Updated Nov. 11, 2025, 1:52 AM ESTBy Mithil Aggarwal and Jay GanglaniIndian authorities are investigating “all options” after at least eight people were killed Monday night in a rare car blast that tore through a neighborhood in the capital that is popular with tourists.At least 20 others were injured in the explosion near the historic Red Fort in Delhi, which took place at 6:52 p.m. local time (8:22 a.m. ET) and left the surrounding area laced with charred vehicles.A “slow-moving vehicle” had stopped at a red light at an intersection when it exploded, Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha told reporters Monday, starting a large fire that spread to nearby cars and rickshaws. Officials have not said what caused the explosion or identified any suspects. Delhi Police have registered a case under anti-terrorism laws and are building the “sequence of events,” Deputy Commissioner Raja Banthia told reporters Tuesday morning. “It is too premature to comment upon anything,” he added.Footage verified by NBC News showed burned vehicles at the scene of the explosion, where investigators are combing for forensic evidence that could help determine the cause.Witnesses described seeing body parts strewn around the area.“It was like an earthquake, the impact and intensity was very powerful,” said Wadqas Shaikh, a 34-year-old pharmacy owner in the nearby Chandni Chowk market.“We were shocked,” he said. Home Minister Amit Shah said Monday night that it was too early to say whether the blast was a terrorist attack, telling reporters that investigators are exploring all possibilities.“We will investigate all angles with determination,” he said.Shah was expected to chair a meeting with top intelligence officials on Tuesday morning. Forensic experts inspecting the blast site in Delhi on Tuesday.Arun Sankar / AFP – Getty ImagesDefense Minister Rajnath Singh said Tuesday that the investigation findings “will soon be made public.”“Those responsible for this tragedy will be brought to justice and will not be spared under any circumstances,” he said.The blast has rattled nerves in India, which almost went to war with its neighbor and fellow nuclear power, Pakistan, over an April terrorist attack in the disputed region of Kashmir that killed 26 people, mostly Indian tourists. India, which said Pakistan-backed armed militants were responsible, launched airstrikes on Pakistan, which denied involvement in the attack. Dozens of people were killed on both sides of the border in the following days before a ceasefire agreement was reached. Monday’s blast occurred outside the 17th-century Red Fort, once the seat of Mughal emperors and now a major tourist destination, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivers an address every Aug. 15 to mark India’s Independence Day.Security has been ramped up at key locations around Delhi, which has a population of nearly 33 million people, including the country’s busiest airport, several monuments, and train stations, India’s federal police unit, the CISF, said in a post on X.The Red Fort metro station was closed on Tuesday “due to security reasons,” the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said on X. The fort itself has also been closed until Thursday, the archaeology agency said.Neighboring states Uttar Pradesh — the country’s most populous and home to the Taj Mahal — and Haryana have also been put on high alert, police there said. India’s financial hub, Mumbai, in the country’s south, is also on high alert, police said.The State Department expressed its condolences and advised U.S. citizens to stay away from crowded areas, especially around the Red Fort. The blast occurred hours before President Donald Trump swore in Sergio Gor as the U.S. ambassador to India.Modi, whose Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party governs Delhi and also faces key elections this week in the northern state of Bihar, shared his condolences Monday in a post on X and said he had “reviewed the situation” with Shah.The blast occurred hours after police in Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority region, said they had arrested several people linked to prominent terrorist groups and seized over 6,300 pounds of explosive materials in a joint operation involving police in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. It was not clear whether the arrests were related.While blasts such as the one on Monday are rare, it evoked memories of previous attacks targeting Delhi.A briefcase bomb killed about 12 people when it went off outside the High Court in 2011, a decade after gunmen stormed the parliament and killed more than a dozen people.Mithil AggarwalMithil Aggarwal is a Hong Kong-based reporter/producer for NBC News.Jay GanglaniJay Ganglani is NBC News’s 2025-26 Asia Desk Fellow.
