    Denying qualified immunity as to both officers where one initially investigated and the other prepared the warrant affidavit

    We hold officers liable for "the intentional or reckless omission of material facts from a warrant application[.]" See, e.g., Hale, 899 F.2d at 400; Wilson v. Stroman, 33 F.4th 202, 211-12 (5th Cir. 2022), cert. denied sub nom. Reyna v. Wilson, 143 S.Ct. 425 (2022), and cert. denied, 143 S.Ct. 426 (2022). And we have extended that liability to any "officer who has provided information for the purpose of its being included in a warrant application" and therefore "has assisted in preparing" it.
