1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Law with June Grossel from Bloomberg Radio. 2 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: Abolish I Abolish, I Abolish, Ilish. 3 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 2: I protests over ICE's arrest of Newark's mayor outside a 4 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 2: new federal immigration detention center on Friday. The arrest came 5 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: after Mayor Ross Baraka tried to join three members of 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 2: New Jersey's congressional delegation in an oversight visit. Democratic Congresswoman 7 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: Lamonica McIver said that I started pushing them as they 8 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: went to arrest Baraka. 9 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: Would shoved everything. Literally the aggression that would just ruughy handled. Literally. 10 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: I mean nobody picked up a fence to punch us, 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 2: but literally they pushed us. 12 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: They actually ended and removed us out of the way 13 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: to get to the mayor to arrest him. 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: The mayor, who said he did nothing wrong, was arrested 15 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: on federal trespass charges in the public area outside the facility. 16 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: I didn't climb a fence. I didn't kick the door out. 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: I didn't bust the window like their friends did at 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: the Capitol. 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: I didn't hurt people joining me is immigration law expertly 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: on Fresco, a partner at Honden Night Leon on the 21 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: three New Jersey representatives said that they have the right 22 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: to conduct oversight without prior notice, and they've done it 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 2: three times this year. Is that unusual. 24 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: It is a very common thing in the history of 25 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: this framework where there are ice attention facilities, which is 26 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: about a thirty year phenomenon, that Congress people go into 27 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: these ice attention facilities and view them and monitor them. 28 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: There is usually some coordination so that there can actually 29 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: be a time and a date where the inspection takes place, 30 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: or if there's not a coordination, there's usually some sort 31 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: of event that takes place outside of the facility where 32 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: you know, there's a press conference and they're using the 33 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: facility essentially as a background to complain about something or other. 34 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: Or the third way is they'll arrive at the facility 35 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: and they'll say, basically like if you would walk into 36 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: an emergency room, Hey, I need to come in, and 37 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: then thirty minutes later maybe they'll be let in. The 38 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: problem is when you're trying to combine all of these 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: things into one event, which is we're trying to do 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: the emergency walk in and we're trying to do a 41 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: media event. That's where I think the people at the 42 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: facility didn't manage it particularly well, and so there was 43 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: this brew haha about whether there was trespassing and assault 44 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: and pushing, and then there was a question as to 45 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: what the mayor of Newark, New Jersey was doing. Was 46 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: he trying to keep the peace or was he trying 47 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: to escalate things and assault officers. And so that's where 48 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: he got arrested because at least ICE is claiming that 49 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: he was not part of the solution, but he was 50 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: of the problem in terms of actually pushing his way 51 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: through and trespassing and disregarding the commands of the ICE 52 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: officers with regard to the movements within the facility. So 53 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: from that perspective, that's going to be quite fascinating, to 54 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: the extent that now the DHS spokesperson is threatening the 55 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: arrests of the House Democratic Congress members because they are 56 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: protected under something called the Speech of the Bay Clause, 57 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: which is if they are trying to basically show that 58 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: they can engage in functions that are pursued to their 59 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: duties in Congress, which they would say this falls within that, 60 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: they're allowed to do that. But the Speech of the 61 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: Bay clause also has an exception for if you are 62 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: committing this kind of assault and battery on someone, you're 63 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: not covered by the speech of the Bay clause. So 64 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: this is actually going to be yet another interesting convergence 65 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: of law, which is was there really an assault and 66 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: battery or was this a prevention of the congress people 67 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: doing their job. 68 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: A Homeland Security spokeswoman said members of Congress assaulted ICE 69 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: agents and body slammed a female ICE officer. I just 70 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: want to note that one of the New Jersey representatives 71 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: is eighty years old. ICE claims it has video, but 72 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: the only video they've released so far is from the 73 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: body cams of the ICE officers outside the facility, and 74 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: it just looks like chaos and confusion. 75 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: I mean, all of those facilities, every inch of them, 76 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: are under video and sound, so they would have it 77 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: and we would know the answer to that question. And secondly, 78 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: all of those facilities, I've been to dozens of them, 79 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: both when I was in the government and in representing 80 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: foreign nationals who are Unfortunately in those facilities, you can't 81 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: move six feet without getting through some door or some 82 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: gate or something. There's nothing to storm. You'd be storming 83 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: a metal door. That would be very painful to you. 84 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: And so from that perspective it does seem unlikely. But 85 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: because I haven't seen a video, I would need to 86 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: reserve judgment on that. But nobody here has clean hands, 87 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: because certainly there's a wait for a congress member to 88 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: go into an ice facility that one hundred percent of 89 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: the time has to happen and has to be allowed. 90 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: But by the same token, there is probably an escalation 91 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: that occurred there when they didn't get exactly what they 92 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: wanted when they wanted it, and this is what leads 93 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: to these unfortunate conflagrations. 94 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: So the mayor said he was there along with the 95 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: New Jersey representatives, but does he have a right to 96 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: be there as the mayor well. 97 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: So this is actually an interesting part of what is 98 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: currently subject to a lot of federal litigation which hasn't 99 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: been decided in the Supreme Court yet, which is what 100 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: rights do states and localities have over these detention facilities 101 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: in their states and local For instance, California has passed 102 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: laws in the past that say you can't have these 103 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: ice attention facilities in California, and the courts, at least 104 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit is held that that's preempted and that 105 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: the federal government is allowed to function even in a 106 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: state or a locality that says that the federal government 107 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: can't have these kinds of ice facilities in their city. 108 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: But then their question is, well, what about licensing requirements? 109 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: What about environmental requirements? Are all of those preempted? And 110 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: yet again, these are issues that aren't fully decided in 111 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: the courts. Is what jurisdiction or what guidance or supervision 112 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: of any kind would a mayor of a town have 113 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: over an immigration detention facility in their city. Can they 114 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: do anything at all? Or is it one hundred percent 115 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: preempted such that when they arrive at such a facility, 116 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: they are no different than you or I, just a 117 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: private citizen, and whatever they do, if they try to desert, 118 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: additional pressure could lead them to being arrested. 119 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: The mayor's office is claiming that the facility is operating 120 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: without a valid certificate of occupancy, but more than a 121 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: dozen federal agents arrested him on federal trespassing charges in 122 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: a public area outside of facility that's owned by a 123 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: private prison company. 124 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: Is that a problem, Well, it would be a problem 125 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: if he didn't actually engage in a crime. Then arresting 126 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: him is going to be a huge problem. And obviously 127 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: any time that happened, the person could file a lawsuit 128 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: and tried to get damages under the Federal Toward Claims Act. 129 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 1: So there's definitely possibilities of that if that's really what happened. 130 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: But again this is going to have to be subject 131 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: to the video and the recordings to see what happened, 132 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: and also then subject to these legal conclusions about what 133 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: jurisdiction does a mayor have, what was the mayor doing, 134 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: was the mayor inside when the mayor shouldn't have been, 135 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: or was the mayor arrested for absolutely no reason? So 136 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: we will just have to wait and see. But definitely 137 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: a very fascinating sequence of events that occurred last week. 138 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: I mean, if Ice actually had a video showing this, 139 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,559 Speaker 2: wouldn't they have released it to back up their point? 140 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: We would already have. 141 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: Seen it many times. I would have seen the video, 142 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: I agree. I agree scenes most likely if you have 143 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: a video, it would have been seen, especially since the 144 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: mayor has specifically called on them to produce a video. 145 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: The fact that they have not produced a video, you know, 146 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: I think what the mayor should probably want to do 147 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: now is to try to poia the video to file 148 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: a freedom of information I requise and or the media 149 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: can do this, and if there are no videos, then 150 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: that's going to be the end of the story there. 151 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: When you take the mayor's arrest with the arrest of 152 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: the judge in Wisconsin, do you think this is the 153 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: federal authorities warning local officials stay out of our business. 154 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: Well, I think the arrest of the judge is far 155 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: more justified than the arrest of the Newark mayor, and 156 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: that the judge was openly impeding a request from ICE 157 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: to be able to actually pick someone up in the courtroom. Now, 158 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: the judge is going to have her explanation that she's 159 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: trying to manage her courtroom and the safety of the 160 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: facility and the ability to have a docket because she 161 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: won't have a docket if ICE is operating in her court. 162 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: So fine, there's defenses for that. But the Newark mayor, 163 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 1: at least if one believes his account, he's saying he 164 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: was just there supporting his members of Congress and just 165 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: making sure that the facility was up to code, so 166 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: to speak, and as soon as he was told to 167 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: VAK he did so. This is the question. Now, maybe 168 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: he didn't, but again, like we discussed, and the video 169 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: is going to answer all of those questions. But if 170 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: there's no video showing him basically trying to barge into 171 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: a facility where he's been told to leave and he's 172 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: not used physical force to do that, I think an 173 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: arrest there is going to be very difficult to justify. 174 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: I've been talking to Leon Fresco, the former head of 175 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: the Office of Immigration Litigation in the Obama administration and 176 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: a partner at Honden Knight. 177 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: Leon. 178 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: Let's turn to the very high profile arrests of several 179 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: foreign graduate students. A couple have been released from custody. 180 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: A doctoral student at Toughs was released after six weeks 181 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: in detention. What happened there? 182 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: So she is one of the three sort of big 183 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: students in terms of there was the original Columbia student, 184 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: Madmud Khalil, then there was an additional student who was 185 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: also a Columbia student, and there is ur the tough 186 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: student Rubsaya os third who all are under that same 187 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: guys where Secretary of State Rubio said that this individual 188 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: had to lead the United States because they were that 189 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: ttrumental to the foreign policy interests of the United States. 190 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: So it's not even the typical student visa cases that 191 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: are happening, which is that a student visa is being revolved, 192 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: and when the student visa is being revolved, then the 193 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: student is just in flux. No, this is sort of 194 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: the nuclear bomb version of this, which is we are 195 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: saying that you are basically no different than a foreign dictator. 196 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: You're that bad. You being here hurts America's foreign policy. 197 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: We have to keep you in detention, and we have 198 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: to remove you once we can, as soon as we can. 199 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, you're in detention. So all three 200 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: of these individuals have filed federal habeas claims, and two 201 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: of them, so one of the Columbia students, most in Madawi, 202 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: and now this tough student, have been released because these 203 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: judges are finding they're not making the final judgment with 204 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: regard to some rejudgment on the statute being unconstitutional, but 205 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: seems to be where they're headed because they're saying, as 206 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: a matter of injunctive relief, we're going to do two 207 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: things that are quite stunning as legal conclusion. You know, 208 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: it's not clear that the Supreme Court ultimately will allow this. 209 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see. But they said, first 210 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: of all, we're going to accept jurisdiction of these claims, 211 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: and that's very remarkable because we don't know that that's 212 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: actually going to be the way the law plays out 213 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: at the end of this, because the Department of Justice 214 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: is saying, no, you have to have the deportation proceeding first, 215 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: and then if there's a deportation ordered, only then can 216 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: you make these constitutional claims. So you have to be 217 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: in attention the whole time to challenge the constitutionality of 218 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: the statute and then you can do it. So the 219 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: court is saying no, no, no, no, you can do 220 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: this upfront in a habeas position. So a there's that, 221 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: And then secondly, we find that there's sort of this 222 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: injunction standard, a likelihood of success that you will be 223 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: able to actually show that there's a problem with this 224 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: statute such that we're going to release you from the tension. 225 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: And so you now have that in two of the 226 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: three cases. We're waiting for what the judge is going 227 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: to do in the third case. But it seems like 228 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: the courts aren't concerned about what is the limiting principle 229 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: for the Secretary of State to be able to say 230 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 1: that someone is harmful to the foreign policy interests of 231 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: the United States and just kick them out without any 232 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: sort of limiting principle as to what that means. And 233 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: I think if the government doesn't do a better job 234 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: of articulating a limiting principle, it's going to have a 235 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: much tougher time defending these types of deportations in the court. 236 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: Is this without precedent to have the Secretary of State 237 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: use this provision in this way or is there law 238 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: on this. 239 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: Well, they use it all the time for things like, 240 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, a dictator seeks in the country, or some 241 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: terrorists or something. They've used it for that. But to 242 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: use it in a situation where it's a foreign student 243 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: who with you know, maybe articulating things that are very 244 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 1: unseemly an unclear, you know, we'll have to have that 245 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: debate as to each of these students, what they did, 246 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: what they didn't do. But the point is there are 247 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: already grounds of deportation for giving material supports to terrorist organizations, 248 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: and those would be much more within the compatibility of 249 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: how the immigration system usually works. If you could say, hey, look, 250 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: this person openly advocated for hamas or this person said 251 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: to donate, or this person said to do this, you 252 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: know whatever, it may be, okay, But this issue of 253 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: saying that by engaging in this protest, they are engaging 254 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: in conduct that is outside of the foreign policy interests 255 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: of the United States, then the question is, well, okay, 256 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: how does that determination get made? What are the limiting principles? 257 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: And what prevents any Secretary of State from doing that 258 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: for any reason whatsoever. So, for instance, let's say you 259 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: called on to stop fleeing the American public. Could Secretary 260 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: of State say, well, maybe we like that, but we 261 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: don't want you particularly upsetting China because we're insensitive trade negotiations, 262 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: and so you couldn't do that either. You know, you 263 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: get supported for saying China is fleeing the American public 264 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: on trade. So this is the question what is the 265 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: limiting principle? And I think if that's not articulated, the 266 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: courts are going to say, look, there's a vagueness problem 267 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: with this statue. That becomes quite concerning to So suppose. 268 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: She wins this round, what happens when her student visa expires? 269 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: Well, so this is what's bizarre about a student visa 270 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: unless and until the administration does new regulations to change this. 271 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: A student visa actually, once you're in the US doesn't 272 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: expire ever if you want to remain a student for 273 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: the rest of your life here, So if you keep 274 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: doing programs, they can keep keeping you here as a student. Now, 275 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: the question is how much money do you have to 276 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: be able to do this over and over again. But 277 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: it is fair to say if they tried to change 278 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: their status to anything else, they may have a tough 279 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: time doing it, no doubt about it. 280 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: It's about due process. And you know, we had the 281 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: President last week saying he's not sure about due process, 282 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: and different people in the administration saying that due process 283 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: rights are not accorded to immigrants, although we had Justice 284 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: Scalia in an important opinion saying yes, due process is 285 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: accorded to immigrants. So, I mean, tell us about this 286 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: whole due process argument. 287 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: Well, we start with the words of the Constitution, as 288 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: the Great Justice Kullia used to say, but it is 289 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: a very fair point. Well why not actually start with 290 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: the words of the Constitution. And if you were to 291 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: do what's called a control f or you know, a 292 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: word find in the Constitution. You would see that sometimes 293 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: the Constitution uses the words citizen, and sometimes it doesn't 294 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: use the words citizen. And so for the due process 295 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: clause of the Constitution, and it does not use the 296 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: word citizen. It uses the word person. And so there's 297 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 1: a lot of case saw that it said that because 298 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: the due process clause uses the word person and that citizen, 299 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't only apply to citizens. It applies to person. 300 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: Now that's a separate question to Okay, So everybody has 301 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: a right to do process. And I think you wouldn't 302 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: find one justice who would say that that's not true, 303 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: because I think the reason we know this is because 304 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: we already had the nine to nothing decision in the 305 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: cases involving the alien enemies at where the Supreme Court. 306 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: You know, there was a debate about whether Trump one 307 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: or the plaintiffs won. But in any case, what the 308 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: Supreme Court said is everybody gets a chance to come 309 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: into court and say, I'm not an alien enemy. Are 310 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: you out of your mind? I'm built from Cleveland. Why 311 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: why am I being said to El Savador? I sell 312 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: vacuum cleaners and I was born in Cleveland. I don't 313 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: I don't get it. And so everybody gets that right 314 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: to go to court, and so everybody has that due process, 315 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: But the question is what process is due to you? 316 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: And I think this is where there's a debate here 317 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: about the Trump administration saying, look, we can't give all 318 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: of the people who entered the United States and set 319 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: the moment from everything that you hear, and they say, 320 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: they claim at the moment that they're really concerned with 321 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: just a group of people who entered between twenty twenty 322 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: one and twenty twenty four. They're saying, we'll get to 323 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: the people from before twenty twenty one later, but what 324 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: they feel is the sort of bad act that they 325 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: need to remedy is to remove the people who came 326 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty four. And they're 327 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: saying that that's millions of people, which it is. It's 328 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: unclear how many millions, but it certainly is some number 329 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: of millions of people. And what they're saying is there's 330 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: no way we can have a trial for each one 331 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: of these people in immigration court, which is probably going 332 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: to be what ends up happening because a lot of 333 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: these folks are from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, China at 334 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: other places where they can ask for asylum. And so 335 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: when these folks are asking for asylum, they will have 336 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: to have a trial about whether they're going to be 337 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: persecuted when you send them back. And so this is 338 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: the problem. The administration is saying, there's no way we 339 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: can do this. How are we going to be able 340 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: to get all of these people out? So you have 341 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: some understanding of what they're saying. But by the same token, 342 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: the other side says, but if you don't do this 343 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: on a case by case basis, you're going to remove 344 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: people who our law say you can't remove. And so 345 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: there's no other way to do this. You know, it 346 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: might be nice to be able to have some sort 347 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: of group thing going on, but that's not how it works. 348 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: Everybody has to make their case and that's what the 349 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: current law is. And so this is the question. It's 350 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: definitely not practical. There's no dispute to what Trump is 351 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: saying is that it it's not practical to have a 352 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: trial for every single person. But in the end, the 353 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: trial is not for the evil gang members benefit. It's 354 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: for build from Cleveland's benefit to be able to say, hey, 355 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: I'm built from Cleveland. Why did you arrest me I'm 356 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: a US citizen or somebody who already won asylum, or 357 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: somebody who actually is a dissident from Venezuela and was 358 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: you know, trying to get this Maduro out of power 359 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: and actually use theirs TV and YouTube clips of them 360 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: doing it, et cetera. So for those kind of people, 361 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: you need to do process. And the only way to 362 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: figure out which kind of person you're talking about is 363 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: to allow each person to make their claim. 364 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: So I mean, there are fast trials, and couldn't they 365 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: do each of these and you know a few. 366 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: Hours, Well you can, and they are done. I mean, 367 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: no asylum claim other than maybe a couple of cases 368 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: I've been involved with, But that's because I wonder why, yes, yes, yes, 369 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean I've been in once take two three days, 370 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: and that's considered like a record amount of time to 371 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: have an asylum case. But most of them take four hours, 372 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: six hours. But here's the problem. I mean, even if 373 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: you had a thousand immigration court judges, and those thousand 374 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: immigration court judges worked three hundred and sixty five days, 375 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: which they do not. But let's say they work three 376 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days, we would still be talking 377 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: about at the end of the day, you know, three 378 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five thousand cases or something. And so 379 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: if you're trying to deport what they claim is ten 380 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: million people, you're not going to make a vent there. 381 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: And so that's the problem that they're coming across here. 382 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 2: I've been talking immigration law expert Leon Fresco of Honden 383 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 2: Night Stephen Miller. Over the weekend, the White House Chief 384 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: of Staff said that they're thinking about trying to suspend 385 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 2: Habeas corpus, which has been done I think four times 386 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: in the nation's. 387 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: History, right, and so the Habeas corpus clause says that 388 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: it can be suspended during times of rebellion and invasion. 389 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: And so the question is is this considered a type 390 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: of invasion that they were talking about, especially when Congress 391 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: hasn't declared war. We've already seen that the courts at 392 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: the moment are not very excited about this invasion language 393 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: because they're not allowing it to be used in the 394 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: alien Enemies at context. So far, there's not a judge 395 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,959 Speaker 1: who's reviewed any of these alien Enemies at case as 396 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: yet who has said yes, by the way, we are 397 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 1: under an invasion, and so the Trump administration is correct 398 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: to allow folks to be detained and deported without due 399 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: process because we're under an invasion. They haven't been successful 400 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: with that argument yet, and so if they're not successful 401 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: there in that context, it's going to be hard to say, well, 402 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: how can you suspend habeas corpus, which is a much 403 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: much larger list in the courts. I mean, that's a 404 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: monumental thing to do because it's literally the founding of 405 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: the republic is about these rights as you have for 406 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: habeas corpus, and so to suspend it, if they're not 407 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: going to say there's an invasion for the purposes of 408 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: the Alien Enemies Act, it's going to be difficult. But 409 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is they're trying to avoid 410 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: literally what we've just talked about with regard to the 411 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: foreign students. Those foreign students are in court filing habeas petitions, 412 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: and the people under the Alien Enemies Act are in 413 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: federal court filing habeas petition. That's their only jurisdiction that 414 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: they have to get into court. So if you suspend 415 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: abeas corpus, then they can't file those petitions. And so 416 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: the idea is you can keep them detained, give them 417 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: their removal process, and then maybe at the end they'll 418 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: be able to file something. But at least maybe a 419 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: lot more people will be discouraged because they won't be 420 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: able to see a quick way to get relief, which 421 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: is what Habeas does, and so they'll just try to 422 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: self support or give up or never come into country 423 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: the first place, etc. Et cetera. And so we'll see 424 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: if they end up doing it. But I think the 425 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: reason that even you see some hesitation from Stephen Miller 426 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: is because at the end of the day, if they 427 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: don't win any of these cases on the alien Enemies odds, 428 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: then whether we are under an invasion for the purposes 429 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: of that, it will be very hard to say why 430 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: we are under an invasion for the purposes of suspending 431 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:32,959 Speaker 1: Habeas corpus. 432 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: And speaking of Habeas corpus petitions Kilmar Abrigo Garcia, which 433 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 2: I don't know where that case is now. But Christy Nome, 434 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: the DHS secretary, said in Congress last week he's not 435 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: coming back. 436 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: He's not coming back restrained. I have no doubt about it. 437 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: Why the plaints that are still holding off on doing 438 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: anything here when they hear the Secretary of Homeland Security 439 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: thing they're not going to bring him back, but perhaps 440 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: there's some other arrangement that's interesting to both sides. I 441 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I do think the plaintiffs 442 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: definitely wanted him back. That was why they had filed 443 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: the litigation. And so if they hadn't pushed the tieline 444 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: and they're sort of still on this Flower timeline and 445 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: you have the second Tary of Land Security say he's 446 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: not going to come back, something is going to have 447 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: to give soon. And so either you're going to see 448 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: the announcement of some settlement that works for both sides, 449 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: or you're going to see the litigation come back again. 450 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: And I don't know where this is going now. Having 451 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: said that, there was a case that just got decided 452 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: on Friday with regards to the Biden administration's asylum ban, 453 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: not the Trump administration's asylum ban, but the Biden administration 454 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: asylum ban. The Biden administration banned asylum by saying you 455 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: had to use the CBP one app if you tried 456 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: to come in the country illegally, you wouldn't be able 457 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: to get asylum. And the court held that that violates 458 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: the statutes. You can't do that or Interestingly, the plaintiffs 459 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: in that case said that there had been some wrongly 460 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: deported people under the Biden Asylum band and they asked 461 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: the judge to force the administration to bring them back, 462 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: and the judge there, who's known as quite a progressive judge, 463 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: that absolutely not. I can't bring them back. There's nothing 464 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: I can do about this. All I can do is 465 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: take away their deportation order. And they want to come 466 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: back and try again to apply for asylum, that's certainly 467 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: something they can do. But I can't order anybody to 468 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: bring anybody back. And so perhaps there's some belief system 469 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: here that's starting to take place that really the courts 470 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: can't do this and they and they can't order anybody 471 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: to be brought back. So that's what's going to be 472 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: very interesting to see. 473 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Leon.
