Man in Jan. 6 Riot Ordered to Pay $500,000 to Family of Officer Who Later Killed Himself
A federal jury on Monday ordered a man who was charged in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to pay $500,000 to the family of a D.C. police officer who was assaulted during the riot and later killed himself. A lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia claimed that the officer, Jeffrey Smith, of the Metropolitan Police, was hit with a hard object during the clashes, and that he became depressed in the days that followed. He killed himself a little over a week later. The man who was sued, David Walls-Kaufman, a chiropractor, was also charged criminally with parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. In 2023, he pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge and served a two-month jail sentence, but he was pardoned earlier this year by President Trump. Mr. Walls-Kaufman has denied assaulting the officer. Officer Smith was hit in the head with a metal pole during the melee and seemed to slip into a deep depression, his wife, Erin Smith, said in 2021. According to The Associated Press, Ms. Smith claimed that Mr. Walls-Kaufman 'struck her husband in the head with his own police baton, giving him a concussion and causing psychological and physical trauma that led to his See Stylebook entry update of April 2023.' The Police and Firefighters Retirement and Relief Board in Washington found in March 2022 that his death had been the direct result of an injury that he had sustained during the riot.

ICE Is Working With Long Island Police. A Lawsuit Calls That Illegal.
Two weeks after President Trump returned to power, the Republican leaders of Nassau County on Long Island vowed to help him with his immigration crackdown. They were among the first local government leaders in the United States to announce a partnership between their Police Department and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to conduct immigration arrests during Mr. Trump's second term. Across the nation, hundreds of other police agencies forged similar agreements, jump-starting a crucial part of Mr. Trump's agenda: enlisting local law enforcement to boost deportations. On Tuesday, the New York Civil Liberties Union sued Nassau County and its Police Department, arguing that the partnership was unlawful. The lawsuit, the first of its kind in New York State, says that the agreement between the county and the federal government violates state law, undermines protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, and promotes racial profiling. If successful, the suit could threaten similar or future agreements in New York. Two other counties that lean conservative — Broome and Niagara — signed partnerships with ICE this year, joining Rensselaer County, which has had a pact with federal immigration authorities since 2018. 'It's a recipe for racial and ethnic profiling,' said Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. 'It's a devastating attack on fundamental rights for the Police Department in Nassau County to be behaving like ICE.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
