Episode 148 | Trump & DOJ FALL APART in COURT as Judges CLOSE IN
Description
An Illinois federal judge says immigration agents’ use of force during Chicago protests “shocks the conscience” and has moved to rein them in, issuing a preliminary injunction that limits their use of tear gas and pepper balls. But the Trump administration is appealing, accusing the judge of overreach. Asha and Renato unpack the “separation of powers” principle and discuss the limits on judges’ ability to make the executive branch comply with court orders. Plus, they break down the legal wrangling over the White House’s refusal to fund SNAP during the shutdown. Listen up!
