What happens when headlines move faster than the law?

In this opening episode of Minneapolis Under Siege: Myths and Facts, retired judge and trial attorney Steven Teske launches The Teske Brief with a clear purpose: separating myth from law — and myth from policy reality.

As federal immigration enforcement unfolds in Minneapolis, public commentary has been filled with confident claims about the Constitution, federal power, immunity, and use of force. Many of those claims are simply wrong.

This episode sets the foundation.

Rather than rushing to conclusions, Judge Teske steps back to explain how the law actually works — and why misunderstanding it can escalate conflict, distort accountability, and undermine public trust.

In this episode, we examine ten common myths, including:
• Whether states can prosecute federal law-enforcement officers
• What qualified immunity really does — and does not — mean
• Whether non-compliance justifies deadly force
• Why body-camera footage is evidence, not a verdict
• How federal authority actually interacts with state and local law
• Why officer training and policy matter in court
• The difference between criminal and civil accountability
• And why accountability strengthens, rather than weakens, constitutional policing

This is not a verdict on any individual case.

It is an orientation — a 35,000-foot view before we descend into deeper legal analysis in upcoming episodes.

If you’re looking for outrage, this may not be the show for you.

If you’re looking for clarity, doctrine, and facts instead of slogans — welcome.
