Thrilled to see this out in @YaleLJournal! Cross-sovereign policing creates dangerous accountability vacuums when state and federal authority blend. I develop an accountability-federalism framework to restore democratic oversight and match policing power with meaningful remedies
In her Article, @nbanteka examines cross-sovereign policing, in which police officers wield overlapping federal and state authority. In response to this practice, she advances an accountability-federalism framework to realign power with legal remedies and democratic control.
Can’t wait to teach this amazing cohort in the spring!!

Examining the intersection of policing, immigration, and civil liberties.
FSU Law professor @nbanteka , the Gary & Sallyn Pajcic Professor of Law, participated in the 2026 Carolina Law Scholarship Roundtable on Immigration, Policing, and Detention at the @UniversityofNo7 School of Law.
The roundtable, hosted by Professor @jain_eisha , brought together leading scholars from across the country to workshop emerging scholarship in policing and immigration law.
Professor Banteka presented her latest paper, “Police-Created Suspicion,” co-authored with Professor Erika Nyborg-Burch, which examines how law enforcement practices can generate the suspicion later used to justify searches and seizures under modern Fourth Amendment doctrine.

Hi Folks! I wanted to share a 🧵about my JMP in @YaleLawJournal (now on SSRN). It reconstructs the law of officeholding in early US, arguing that it is inconsistent with the unitary executive theory. (1/
I advance what I label the Accountability Federalism Framework: Functional attribution under §1983; a new federal cause of action; narrowed Supremacy Clause immunity; Fiduciary disclosure, registries, state remedies, & interstate compacts.
