A bevy of court-created legal doctrines permit rogue government officials to violate the Constitution and get away with it. The heads of IJ’s Project on Immunity and Accountability, Anya Bidwell and Patrick Jaicomo, explain how IJ is using the Constitution to ensure government officials who weaponize their power are held accountable. IJ clients Sylvia Gonzalez and James King discuss how they sought justice for the abuse they suffered from government officials.
