"Generally" We Follow the Law

from Main Justice · host Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann

With so many issues stemming from President Trump’s executive orders now before the Supreme Court, it’s tough to know where to begin. So Andrew and Mary start this week with the arguments heard last Thursday from Mary’s ICAP team on the courts issuing national injunctions in several birthright citizenship cases. They recap Thursday’s highlights and note the Justices' interest in getting to the merits of the birthright issue. Then, they talk through two SCOTUS decisions from Friday and Monday: one on the Trump administration using the Alien Enemies Act to ‘extract’ Venezuelan migrants, and the other on their attempt to revoke the protected status of Venezuelans. Last up, Andrew and Mary turn to the specifics of a few of the immigration removal cases, as hearings continue and the lack of due process continues to be challenged.Want to listen to this show without ads?
