When authorities in Wilmington, Delaware, carried out an eviction order in 2021, they ignored the fact that the documents named someone other than the family living in the home.
They ignored the fact that the tenant actually showed them a current, paid-up lease.
They ignored the fact that the father, a 52-year-old blind widower, was being forced on to the streets in a snowstorm.
Along with his daughters, 11 and 17 at the time.
None of that mattered.
And now the Rutherford Institute is calling on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hold those officers responsible for their actions.
The legal team wants the officers held responsible for their "evict first, ask questions later" practice that left William Murphy and his family injured.
The lower court dismissed a lawsuit over the eviction assault after it granted a type of judicial immunity to constables "who knowingly evicted the wrong person."
The institute also is arguing that "the eviction was an objectively unreasonable seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment and that not providing proper notice and a reasonable accommodation for the blind tenant violated the Fourteenth Amendment's due process protections and the Americans with Disabilities Act."
"Due process rights mean nothing when the government is allowed to sidestep those safeguards against abuse whenever convenient," said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of "Battlefield America: The War on the American People."
"By allowing government agents to operate above the law, immune from wrongdoing, we have created a situation in which the law is used as a hammer to oppress the populace, while useless in protecting us against government abuse."
The legal team documented the case:
William Murphy, a blind, 52-year-old widower and his two daughters, aged 17 and 11, moved to Wilmington, Del., in Nov. 2020, to be closer to other family members. Murphy signed a one-year lease and received rental assistance from Social Services. The landlord complained about a delay with receiving the partial rent payment from Social Services, and in Feb. 2021, the water and electricity to the home were shut off in violation of state law. Then, on the morning of Feb. 11, during a bitterly cold snowstorm, constables arrived at the Murphy home, ordered them to vacate the premises, and gave the family 30 minutes to collect their belongings and leave. Even though the person named in the Eviction Order was someone other than Murphy, and despite Murphy showing proof of a signed lease in good standing, Murphy and his daughters were still ordered to leave the home, unable to take most of their personal possessions.
While it took only a week for a state magistrate to determine the eviction was unlawful, a subsequent civil rights lawsuit now is pending at the appeals court.
WND earlier reported that Whitehead was warning, "Increasingly, the courts have become fixated on siding with government against rather than with safeguard the rights enshrined in the Constitution."
He has explained because the error should have been obvious, a federal civil rights complaint was filed against those responsible for tossing the family into the street.

Video of the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally for President Donald Trump during which an assassin tried to kill him has been released by Tucker Carlson.
And according to a report by news.spreely it has gotten attention for showing the chaos that day.
Especially, "when rally attendees noticed an armed individual making his way onto a nearby rooftop," the report said.
Authorities soon neutralized attacker Thomas Matthew Crooks, but not before he wounded Trump.
"Rally-goers are seen frantically alerting Secret Service agents as the situation unfolded. Panicked voices can be heard warning the agents about the man with a weapon, who had managed to position himself in a high vantage point. The tension builds as the threat becomes clearer, and the footage shows the shocking moment when gunfire erupts," the report said.
The report explained, "The footage provides a chilling glimpse into the fear and confusion that gripped the crowd."
Firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed in the hail of bullets, and others were injured.
The report charged the footage "casts a harsh spotlight on the security failures that allowed the attack to unfold. Many are now questioning the performance of the Secret Service on that fateful day, and whether this breach of security could have been prevented."

The presidential election in 2020 was suspicious in a number of ways:
– President Donald Trump set a record for votes, but career political hack Joe Biden got MILLIONS more? That would be millions more votes than the super-popular Barack Obama had gotten previously.
– State and local elections officials repeatedly broke their own state laws to count votes during COVID, including accepting ballots long after the legal deadline had passed.
– Mark Zuckerberg handed out some $400 million to local elections officials to help with deal with election requirements, and those officials often used the flood of cash to recruit Democrat voters, a campaign financing scandal that now is illegal in some states.
– The FBI and other federal agencies, conspiring with major media and tech corporations, falsely claimed that the details about the Biden family scandals documented in Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop were disinformation, and ordered the details suppressed. The scandals were true.
– A later polling showed that had that information been available ordinarily, enough voters would have withheld their support from Joe Biden to cause him to lose the election.
– Multiple lawsuits alleging elections misbehavior simply were tossed by judges who claimed the plaintiffs had no "standing," or valid interest in the alleged wrongdoing, so the actual claims, the merits of the lawsuits, never were addressed.
Even so, Democrats have claimed those who have doubts are "insurrectionists," leftist judges have used those thoughts against those who trespassed at the Capitol in Washington on January 6, 2021, and extremists like Colorado's secretary of state, Jena Griswold, even have campaigned to ban Trump from the ballot over the issue.
Now Julie Kelly, a Real Clear Investigations researcher and writer and self-described "insurrection denier," explains online that those opinions are legitimate.
She wrote, "DOJ and federal judges have made election 'denial' a crime in Washington. J6ers texts and memes about the 2020 election are used as incriminating evidence and reason for excessive sentences. Judges routinely berate J6ers for believing 'lies' from a 'charlatan' that the 2020 election was stolen.
"Except it's not a crime to believe the 2020 election was illegitimate because it was. Two-thirds of Republicans still believe it was an unlawful election; independents have trended in that direction over the past 4 years."
She continued, "To this day (Georgia) we are still learning [h]ow corrupt the voting process was in key states. We know for a fact that Democratic sec of states and county election workers broke their own states' laws to count illegal votes. Big Tech and the FBI were in cahoots to suppress damaging information about absentee voting and Hunter Biden. The Zuckerbergs dumped $400 million to juice the numbers."
She cited Norah O'Donnell's comments during her biased management of the vice presidential debate between GOP candidate JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz this week. O'Donnell, Kelly explained, "had to straight up LIE about election lawsuits to make it appear the courts considered the cases when they systematically rejected the suits on technical grounds. SCOTUS refused to hear a single election case including those filed by state AGs and GOP state lawmakers.
"There is much to justify the belief that Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 election and Democrats and the media want to try it again—which is why they will now fixate on Vance's answer for the rest of the year. Vance should refuse to answer the question and pivot to how Democrats stole the nomination from Biden and installed Kamala Harris without a single vote in 2024. Period," she said.
Kelly, in fact, cited the Republicans, too, for blame for the situation: "One of the GOP's most consequential mistakes – refusing to conduct a proper investigation into Jan. 6 the minute they took Congress."
In fact, it is through the wild election denial and "'insurrection" claims that the Department of Justice, the FBI, and more federal agencies, have been "weaponized" by Democrats against the GOP and specifically Trump.
One commenter pointed out that Hillary Clinton, even to this day, claims that the 2016 election was "stolen" from her, yet she has faced literally no backlash over her claims.
Another commenter said, "It is why they want to shut down free speech. They want to make it a crime to challenge them in any way whatsoever.

Only hours before Tim Walz, now the leftist Minnesota governor and Kamala Harris' pick to be the vice presidential candidate on this year's Democrat party ticket, was scheduled to meet the GOP vice presidential candidate, JD Vance, in a debate, a prominent publication has unleashed a list of his "misleading statements – and even outright lies."
It is the Daily Mail that announced, "Tonight, Tim Walz will debate JD Vance. But how on Earth can we trust a single word he says? Read our damning audit of all his misleading statements – and even outright lies."
The report documents how 16 former members of the Mankato West High's football team honored Walz at a political event as their "coach," as Harris had claimed him to be.
"Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar went even further, declaring: 'In Minnesota, we trust a coach who turned a team that was 0-27 into state champions.'"
But that wasn't the truth.
"In fact, the head coach of the all-conquering side known as the 'Scarlets' was a man named Rick Sutton," the report said. Walz, a social studies teacher, was just one of multiple assistants.
The report said many are "beginning to ask if the Minnesota governor has a problem with the truth," and said his "penchant for self-aggrandizement is most pronounced when it comes to his military record."
He was in the Army National Goard in Nebraska and Minnesota for 24 years, and once boasted, "We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at."
But he never was "in war."
The report explained, "Walz was only ever deployed to Italy – in 2003 to provide security at a U.S. military base that was involved in supporting the on-going Afghanistan war effort."
While the campaign team claimed Walz "misspoke," the report notes, "Walz has seemingly been unable to openly admit his mistake."
"On August 29, as he sat alongside Harris for a joint first interview, CNN's Dana Bash asked the following of Walz: 'You said that you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone. A campaign official said that you misspoke. Did you?'"
His evasive response? "My wife, the English teacher, told me my grammar is not always correct."
Further, running for governor in 2018, he boasted of being a "retired command sergeant major."
Not so. He served "briefly in that role, but had not completed the requirements for that status and on retirement, lost it.
"Former Minnesota Army National Guard Colonel John Kolb, who told Associated Press in August that he knew Walz by reputation as 'excellent', said that he was nonetheless stunned by the way Walz had overstated his rank after retiring," the report said.
Kolb said that was "not the behavior I would expect out of a senior noncommissioned officer."
Then there was his fiasco that resulted in his arrest.
He was stopped for driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone near Chadron, Nebraska, years ago. He tested beyond the state's limit for alcohol, pleaded guilty to reckless driving, lost his license and paid a fine.
But during his congressional campaign, his team schemed to say that he hadn't been drinking at all, claiming he failed the sobriety test because of a hearing loss, and he drove himself to jail.
"Both details were false. Walz had been driven to the police station in the back of a cop car," the report confirmed.
Then there are "embellishments" to his resume, the report cites.
"When first running for congress in 2006, the Nebraska-born politician's campaign claimed that he had once been named 'Outstanding Young Nebraskan' by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his services to education, the military and small business."
Not true. In fact, "the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce sent Walz a withering letter saying they had not given him the award – adding in a particularly embarrassing note that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce had endorsed his Republican opponent," the report said.
Then under the Harris campaign, he was promoted with the claim he "led Minnesota back with strong leadership, competent management, and smart policies, cutting taxes for working families and reaching the lowest state unemployment rate in recorded history."
The Daily Mail described that as "exaggerated."
"In 2023, Minnesota's real gross domestic product – the broadest measure of economic health – grew by only 1.2 percent, meaning it ranked as the 45th fastest-growing state in the country, with only the economies of New York, Wisconsin, Delaware and Georgia growing at a more sluggish pace."
Job growth in his state also has been behind the national averages.
Also came his claim that he and his wife went through an "IVF journey."
"But in truth, the Walz family did not rely on IVF to conceive," the report confirmed.

A court hearing is being held this week on a blatantly discriminatory program – where rights are based solely on race – in the administration of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' pick to be vice president on the Democrat party's 2024 ticket.
Judicial Watch confirmed it is the Minnesota Supreme Court that will hear arguments in the lawsuit over a scheme that appears in a contract for Minnesota teachers.
It produces special job "rights" for some teachers, but only if they qualify under certain racial characteristics.
The racism was instituted formally after a 2022 teachers' strike.
A district court earlier attempted to kill the dispute raised by Judicial Watch, but that ruling was reversed by the state Court of Appeals.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a Minneapolis taxpayer "over a teachers' contract that provides discriminatory job protections to certain racial minorities."
It's being challenged because, "the contract provides preferences, protections, and privileges for MPS teachers of certain races and ethnicities under a section entitled 'ARTICLE 15. PROTECTIONS FOR EDUCATORS OF COLOR.' There is no similar provision covering educators who are not 'of color.'"
It means a senior teacher who is not of the right race would be laid off while a junior teacher who is of the right race would be kept on staff during layoffs.
Judicial Watch said the case started in 2022 against Minneapolis Public Schools for violating the Equal Protection Guarantee of the Minnesota Constitution. The school district, supported by the teachers and other public employee unions, asserts that Minnesota taxpayers do not have the right to challenge the illegal spending of taxpayer money by government officials.
The legal team told the state Supreme Court, "Minneapolis Public Schools and its Amici spill a lot of ink complaining that a 'complete stranger' has sued to prevent MPS from carrying out an unconstitutional provision of a contract between it and its teachers. [The Taxpayer], however, is not a stranger. She is a Minneapolis taxpayer, and this Court, since at least 1877, has recognized taxpayers as proper parties to bring such actions in Minnesota courts. This Court should not accept MPS's and its Amici's invitation to undermine this important check on government power."
The arguments noted that the plaintiff is a taxpayer and has paid property tax on her home since 2017.
And that schools are funded by taxes.
The fact that one of the provisions in a school contract violates the state constitution, then, is grounds for her protest.

Hillary Clinton, who twice tried to be elected to the White House and twice failed, was, in fact, the impetus behind the false claims during the 2016 presidential race, won by President Donald Trump, that his campaign was colluding with Russia.
Her campaign paid the lawyers who hired underlings to assemble wild and false claims about Trump, including made-up events and more.
The media amplified her messaging by many times by carrying her claims even though evidence was absent.
Now, however, with her own political career in the dustbin, and Trump again leading in many polls for this year's vote, she is demanding that media outlets, reporters and the like, carry only her messaging, again.
In an interview with Margaret Hoover of Firing Line Show, she outlined her requirements for the media and reporters. She was asked what should voters expect between now and election day.
"Well I do think that, uhm, the, the press needs a consistent narr … I mean the, the press is not supporting Trump, blatantly, very persistently. The press is trying to be the press, be objective, reporting the facts… uhm. The press needs a consistent narrative about the danger that Trump poses, because you know people may still look at the dangers and say 'I don't care, doesn't you know doesn't affect me I'm going to vote for him, for X Y or Z' but ok … But at least people need to be woken up and given the facts about what he has done, is saying and would do," she claimed.
"And I anticipate something will happen in October. It always does, uhm, the Russians, as I said earlier are very active in this election, uhm, we know the Iranians are active."
She explained how TikTok was used "against Biden."
She predicted, "There will be concerted efforts to distort and pervert Kamala Harris, who she is, what she stands for, what she's done."
"This is dangerous stuff! It starts online often on the dark web. It migrates. It's picked up by the pro-Trump media. It's then reported on by everybody which makes sure it has about 100% coverage and people believe it! So I don't know what it's going to be but it will be something and we will have to work very hard to make sure that it is exposed as the lie that it is."
Of course, what Clinton and other leftists repeatedly have claimed is misinformation, disinformation and malinformation – with their demands that it be suppressed, is nothing more than a political opinion that contradicts her own political opinion.

A stunning video has been compiled revealing that the foreign media already has reached its conclusion about the candidates in the 2024 American presidential race.
And that's that Kamala Harris, the Democrat nominee handpicked by party elites to replace the aging and failing Joe Biden, who was kicked to the curb, is "unraveling."
The report notes, "Kamala Harris is unraveling. Yes, the honeymoon period is over and with every unscripted interview, the world is seeing more of the real Kamala Harris, but fresh polls are indicating, voters don't like it. Sky News All Stars Rita Panahi, Douglas Murray and Liz Storer take a deep dive into Kamala Harris's latest word salads and examine their impact on her latest polling numbers."
The report explains Harris has been given a "free run" by media, but still manages to "mumble and stumble" answering questions.
It points out Harris learned a new word, "holistically," and used it in an answer three times, within 13 seconds.
And it points not just her mistakes, but her lies.
The first up was when she claimed President Donald Trump had lost American 200,000 manufacturing jobs, before the COVID pandemic, when the facts show he gained more than 400,000 during that time.

The lawfare agenda against President Donald Trump includes a long list of cases and claims.
Assembled by Democrats, some of whom actually campaigned on the ideology of getting Trump to "bring him down," they include documents disputes, arguments about his free speech, his business operations and in one case they changed a state law to allow a woman to bring a claim against Trump.
One of those, however, apparently now is facing a rugged road at an appeals court.
She brought the complaint on her own, as no one had registered any dissatisfaction with their deals with Trump and his corporate organization. In fact, during the trial before Democrat donor Arthur Engoron, witnesses testified all the loans were repaid on time and in full, they had no concerns about their agreements and, in fact, would like to do business with Trump again.
The upshot, from Engoron, was a fine of some $350 million for Trump in a case with no damages. Then interest would add another $100 million – or so.
It is commentator Byron York, in the Washington Examiner, who now has listed some of the concerns raised by the judges in the appeals court who are reviewing Engoron's agenda.
York described the case as "the most damaging, at least monetarily," for Trump.
James maneuvered the case so that Engoron, a "longtime Democratic donor" would decide the case alone, resulting in the nearly half billion dollar decision.
York noted, though, that appeals judge David Friedman pointed out it was not a case of a naïve victim being hurt. "It hardly seems to justify bringing an action to protect Deutsche Bank against President Trump, which is what you have here. You have two really sophisticated players in which no one lost any money."
Then Llinet Rosado, another judge, expressed concern because the case had "little to no impact on the public marketplace."
Further, Peter Moulton said, "The immense penalty in this case is troubling. … How do you tether the amount that was assessed by [Engoron] to the harm that was caused here, where the parties left these transactions happy?" He added, "There has to be some limitation in what the attorney general can do in interfering in these private transactions … where people don't claim harm."
And a fourth, John Higgitt, said any conflict would be a commercial dispute, and openly questioned whether James needed "guardrails" to keep her out of "an area that wasn't intended for her jurisdiction."
York pointed out the court's decision, coming later, could affirm the whole penalty, throw it out, or anything in between.
"Even with all of her anti-Trump animus, James couldn't figure out how to charge Trump with a crime, so she settled for trying to bankrupt him. She found a willing judge to make it happen. Now, we'll see if the damage they did survives judicial scrutiny," he said.

President Donald Trump, seeking this year to be re-elected to the White House over the opposition, lawfare and hate from Democrats who openly have advocated for him to be "extinguished," has survived two apparent assassination attempts in just the past few weeks.
One attempt left him injured, a bullet grazing his ear literally a second after he suddenly turned his head, and another where a gunman had stationed himself on a golf course where Trump was playing a round.
There have been other threats, with an Alaska man arrested for those.
But now a new, and possibly more dangerous, circumstance has developed: Reports of heating-seeking surface-to-air missiles being smuggled into the United States, and "kill teams" assigned.
The Times Now publication explained, "An international war correspondent on X, platform formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday claimed that nine surface-to-air missiles have been smuggled into the U.S. to target Trump Force One."
The report added, "Ann Vandersteel added that the operation will allegedly be led by Sinaloa Cartel of Mexico. However, she did not provide any concrete evidence to back the story."
The report said, "In a tweet, which is now going viral, Vandersteel said that the surface-to-air missiles could be of Iranian origin. This comes after former President Donald Trump said that the U.S. will blow Iran to 'smithereens' if Tehran is involved in assassination attempts on former presidents and presidential nominees. The Republican candidate survived an assassination attempt in July. The FBI is also investigating another apparent attempt in Florida earlier this month."
On social media was, "Intelligence just in from the southern border that 9 surface to air missiles have been smuggled into the U.S. across the New Mexico border. Intended target: Trump Force One."
Lara Logan also posted on social media, "Acc to an informant in New Mexico – Trump's plane is the next target for assassination. Nine heat-seeking surface-to-air missiles have been smuggled into the U.S. for this purpose. And there are three kill teams already inside the country. Trump has been informed, so have the U.S. intel agencies &I other authorities. Money has been transferred to a cartel to push this over the border."

A federal judge in New York has decided that pro-life centers there are allowed to promote the abortion pill reversal protocol as both "safe" and "effective," dealing a blow to the state's pro-abortion campaign that seeks to suppress such health care information.
According to a report from Liberty Counsel, a preliminary injunction from District Judge John L. Sinatra, Jr., now protects Summit Life Outreach Center and The Evergreen Association.
The state has threatened and intimidated them, wildly claiming they are participating in false advertising.
The state's top legal officer has made the claim that the process is "unproven," so that the centers could be accused of fraud.
"However, Summit and Evergreen allege the state's actions violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments and that [Attorney General Letitia] James' illegal targeting of pregnancy centers unconstitutionally censors their speech about the safety and efficacy of abortion pill reversal," Liberty Counsel reported.
The judge already had decided that the pregnancy centers are likely to succeed with their Free Speech allegations against the state.
The judge's order explains the centers "are free to promote the abortion pill reversal (APR) protocol and say that it is 'safe and effective' while their lawsuit moves forward."
The injunction consolidates this case with his own previous ruling from August that at the time blocked James from targeting other pro-life pregnancy centers with attacks for their work to protect women and babies.
Liberty Counsel explained, "The APR protocol can reverse the effects of the abortion pill Mifepristone if a woman changes her mind within 72 hours after taking the drug. Mifepristone starves the baby to death by blocking the naturally-occurring progesterone that helps a woman's body sustain the baby. The APR protocol consists of giving extra progesterone within 72 hours to 'outnumber and outcompete' the abortion drug so the baby can survive."
Studies show it has saved more than 5,000 unborn children.
The order lets the centers make statements "using the terms 'Abortion Pill Reversal' or 'APR' related to chemical abortions," "referring to the APR Hotline or AbortionPillReversal.com," "indicating that Abortion Pill Reversal (or APR), or progesterone is safe," and "that Abortion Pill Reversal (or APR), or progesterone, is effective."
Liberty Counsel chief Mat Staver said, "The abortion pill reversal protocol gives a woman a chance to save her unborn baby by safely reversing an abortion. The government does not have the power to chill the free speech of pregnancy center staff and take away a woman's option to safely stop an abortion. New York's attempt to censor live-saving treatment is blatantly unconstitutional and should be permanently struck down."
