Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Trump’s Unconstitutional Rampage Against Immigration

from Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts

It’s barely been a week and the torrent of horrible coming from the pens and mouth of President Trump is staggering. Many of the executive orders signed this week focus on immigration, and that is where we have our eyes trained as well. This week, to help us make sense of the whirlwind that threatens to upend the lives of millions of people Dahlia Lithwick talks to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, Senior Fellow and former policy director at the American Immigration Council, a pro-immigrant nonprofit aiming to defend immigrants through litigation, advocacy, and more. Not all executive orders are created equal, and so Aaron leads us through what’s constitutionally possible, legally probable, and already swinging into action from Trump’s immigration edicts. Aaron’s post about Bishop Mariann Edgar-Bunne: https://bsky.app/profile/reichlinmelnick.bsky.social/post/3lgdojbbjvk2yAmicus’s October episode on the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 with Katherine Yon Ebright, American Immigration Council: After Day One: A High-Level Analysis of Trump's First Executive ActionsWant more Amicus?
