Bivens action: Section 1983 only applies to local state governments. A “Bivens action” is the federal analog which comes from Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Subject to certain exceptions, victims of a violation of the Federal Constitution by a federal officer have a right under Bivens to recover damages against the officer in federal court despite the absence of any statutory basis for such a right.
