Jury: Trust in Preston Marshall case cannot be revoked
(Metro Creative Services) A Calcasieu Parish jury has returned a defense verdict in favor of Preston Marshall, affirming a 2011 gift — valued at $100 million — that would benefit Marshall and his descendants cannot be revoked. Marshall is the grandson of J. Howard Marshall II — a Texas oil tycoon who died in 1995 and who may be better known for marrying Anna Nicole Smith, a former Playboy playmate and reality television star who died of an accidental prescription overdose in 2007. She was 26 when she married the 89-year-old. In 2015, a family member initiated legal action to revoke half of the charitable lead annuity trust, with Preston and his children as beneficiaries. The gift was set to mature in 2031, providing a payout exceeding $100,000,000. The basis for the revocation suit was 'ingratitude,' a legal claim that had never before been tried in Louisiana involving such a significant sum. The case has had years of litigation in Texas and Louisiana courtrooms. Marshall's defense team was led by Hunter Lundy, with assistance from the Lundy Firm headed by Matt Lundy, along with Daniel Kramer, Houston Middleton, and Gary Blanchard. They collaborated with Jeff Chambers and the Susman Godfrey Firm of Houston and New Orleans-based counsel Sher Garner. Hunter Lundy said revoking a trust explicitly designated as 'irrevocable,' especially one that provided the donor with a multi-million dollar tax deduction, is challenging when based on 'unjustifiable claims.' 'Justice was served and I pray that this family can resolve their disputes out of court in the future,' he said.

ICE operations in Colorado raise legal questions
Images of masked, heavily armed immigration agents pulling people off Colorado streets and out of courthouses in unmarked cars have left many shocked and wondering: Is all of this legal? It is — at least for now. Why it matters: Since its post-9/11 creation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has operated with broader powers and fewer restrictions than local police — rules designed to help the FBI identify and detain terror suspects. But under the Trump administration, those tools have been redirected to target unauthorized immigrants, potentially millions of them, and critics say ICE has become the closest thing the U.S. has to a secret police force. Zoom in: ICE agents aren't required to wear body cameras, can hide their identities, use unmarked cars and detain people without judicial warrants — as long as they suspect someone is in the U.S. illegally. They're not supposed to detain U.S. citizens, but some have been caught in the dragnet due to ICE errors. What ICE can't do: Agents can't enter a private home unless they have a judicial warrant. ICE also can't force a local law enforcement agency to join an operation, though police are obligated to keep order if protesters surround one. The latest: ICE's powers continue to expand in Colorado. ICE agents told at least two Denver-area counties they won't allow detained immigrants to attend local court hearings in person, per CPR. Adams County Sheriff Gene Claps told CPR the new policy is hurting victims' right to due process, while ICE Denver Field Office director Robert Guadian said the decision stems from a lack of confidence that local sheriffs will return detainees, making it too risky to release them for court appearances. What we're watching: ICE's footprint in Colorado could soon grow.
