Speaker 1: Cool media. This is it?
Speaker 2: Sorry, Garrison, wow, I interrupted you.
Speaker 3: It's we have a whole thing that we've been doing.
Speaker 1: Happen we have been.
Speaker 4: This is the first episode that started differently in like twelve.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right.
Speaker 2: Why don't you why don't you introduce a rectile dysfunction
Speaker 2: or whatever we call this?
Speaker 4: That's not what it's called. This is it could happen here.
Speaker 4: Executive Disorder, the weekly newscast where we cover, you know,
Speaker 4: everything happening in the White House, the crumbling world, and
Speaker 4: what it means for you. I'm Garrison Davis. I'm joined
Speaker 4: by Federal No No New Mexico State.
Speaker 1: Mexican Mexico, Municipal Judge.
Speaker 4: Municipal Judge Robert Evans. That's right, Neil Long and James Stout.
Speaker 4: We're covering the week of April twenty fourth to April thirtieth.
Speaker 2: Yes, and we're sponsored by Hymns. Not yet, but hopefully
Speaker 2: when they were.
Speaker 4: We will accept their contract money one day. Robert, what's
Speaker 4: going on with your fellow judges.
Speaker 2: I want to get to that, Garrison. Some very important
Speaker 2: news just dropped from the real Raw News Twitter account.
Speaker 2: Oh boys, sharing what you don't want shared one hundred
Speaker 2: and seven thousand followers. Special forces that accompanied President Trump
Speaker 2: to the Pope's funeral arrested Biden for treason afterward, but
Speaker 2: it turned out to be a body double, So.
Speaker 4: Breaking news.
Speaker 2: Joe still has a trigger too up his sleep, Patriots
Speaker 2: not in control.
Speaker 4: What a beautiful world people must live.
Speaker 2: I desperately want to lift in the world where like
Speaker 2: Joe Biden is a Saga era type rebel figure, like
Speaker 2: tricking special forces with body doubles, hiding in the mountains.
Speaker 1: They called him Joe the Jackal for a reason.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he locked up in a Vatican vaults where he's
Speaker 4: scheming his return.
Speaker 1: He just stolen nuke from Fort Leonard Wood. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: he's in a tiny submarine making its way to keep
Speaker 1: it right.
Speaker 4: Now, I guess you know, speaking of the pope, but
Speaker 4: Trump himself has announced his running for the pope ship paper.
Speaker 1: Why not let him have it.
Speaker 3: Let him have it, We will keep a close eye
Speaker 3: on that.
Speaker 1: Let him have it.
Speaker 2: But make Stanley Tucci do whatever job Stanley Tucci had
Speaker 2: in conclave.
Speaker 3: Make him the lib A cuck cardinal. Why not?
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, speaking of lib cut No, speaking
Speaker 2: of judges, who actually exercised a great deal of personal courage.
Speaker 2: There have been two cases in the last week or
Speaker 2: so of judges being arrested and charged by the Trump
Speaker 2: administration with crimes that are all related to aiding and
Speaker 2: debedding undocumented immigrants. Right, I'm going to start with the
Speaker 2: case of Hannah Dugan. Hannah Dugan is a Wisconsin She's
Speaker 2: a Milwaukee County Circuit judge. She was sworn in in
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. So she's I wanted to say, I wanted
Speaker 2: to say she hasn't been doing this very long, but no,
Speaker 2: that's literally like nine years, eight or nine years, so
Speaker 2: she's been doing this a spell. She's sixty five years old.
Speaker 2: And on March twelfth, there was a fellow Flora's Ruiz
Speaker 2: is his last name. He's thirty years old, who was
Speaker 2: arrested after basically there was a confrontation between him and
Speaker 2: his roommates for him playing loud music. He was confronted
Speaker 2: for this on March twelfth, and he allegedly fought with
Speaker 2: a male roommate in the kitchen. A woman I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if she was a roommate or just there tried
Speaker 2: to break them up. Two women eventually did. One of
Speaker 2: them got elbowed in the arm, allegedly by Flores Ruiz.
Speaker 2: One of them was struck while trying to break them up.
Speaker 2: It is unclear to the degree to which I'm hearing
Speaker 2: a lot of people like I went to the centrist
Speaker 2: subreddit to see this, and they're like, well, a serial
Speaker 2: abuser of women.
Speaker 1: That's not really what he's being accused of.
Speaker 2: There's like a fight between him and another guy and
Speaker 2: it got chaotic. One person elbowed in the arm. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I don't consider that serious domestic abuse unless it's part
Speaker 2: of a pattern. If it's literally he was fighting a
Speaker 2: guy and other people swarmed in and some of them
Speaker 2: one of them got elbowed. I don't know about this
Speaker 2: woman that he's alleged of striking, Like to what degree
Speaker 2: did he haul off and punch her or was it again,
Speaker 2: there was this chaotic struggle and several people got struck
Speaker 2: in the middle of it. Right, this isn't like great,
Speaker 2: but this is certainly not. The evidence that has been
Speaker 2: provided by the state here in this case is not
Speaker 2: that this is a serial domestic abuser of women. It's
Speaker 2: a guy who was involved in a chaotic fight with
Speaker 2: a roommate and a couple of other people. Right, So
Speaker 2: he's being charged with misdemeanor domestic battery as a result
Speaker 2: of this. He faces up to nine months in prison
Speaker 2: and a ten thousand dollars fine on each count if convicted,
Speaker 2: and he has not been convicted and is innocent until
Speaker 2: proven guilty. So he went up in front of Judge
Speaker 2: Dugan literally a few days ago when we record this,
Speaker 2: and while she was in the midst of like having
Speaker 2: this like court meeting. Basically, I think this was kind
Speaker 2: of like a pre trial deal, right where they're kind
Speaker 2: of like setting the ground rules of things. She finds
Speaker 2: out that Ice is in the courthouse and that they
Speaker 2: are looking for Flores Ruiz, and so she gets really
Speaker 2: angry because based on what Wisconsin has stated, like the
Speaker 2: actual law in the state, they are not supposed to
Speaker 2: be interfering in actual court proceedings. And part of the
Speaker 2: reason why is that the courts don't want people to
Speaker 2: be dissuaded from dealing with their state level court issues
Speaker 2: by the fact that Ice might pick them up.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It will stop people, It will make people go on
Speaker 2: the run. It makes it very difficult to enforce law
Speaker 2: and order, and it also like victims, right, Like I've said,
Speaker 2: at least if some makes it difficult for victims to
Speaker 2: get any sort of justice.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: The FBI affidavit describes hers getting visibly angry when Immigration
Speaker 2: shows up and she leaves the bench right, and she
Speaker 2: retreats to her chambers and I think confers with another judge,
Speaker 2: and she and that judge then approach the arrest team
Speaker 2: inside the courthouse. The affidavit describes her as having a confrontational,
Speaker 2: angry demeanor. She basically keeps saying, show me a fucking warrant, right,
Speaker 2: And they don't have a quote unquote real warrant, right,
Speaker 2: They do not have a criminal arrest warrant. They have
Speaker 2: an administrative warrant, which, based on the actual law, they
Speaker 2: do not. She does not have to let them in, right,
Speaker 2: That is not the way these things fucking work right
Speaker 2: into the courtroom to like interrupt the proceedings on the
Speaker 2: strength of this warrant. She tells them to speak with
Speaker 2: the chief judge, and she leads them away from the
Speaker 2: courtroom right once. She sends them to the chief Judge's office.
Speaker 2: This is where the thing that may in fact be
Speaker 2: criminal behavior comes in, Dugan goes back into the courtroom
Speaker 2: and says something along the lines of weight, come with me,
Speaker 2: and then takes Flora's Ruiz and his lawyer through the
Speaker 2: jury door into a non public area of the courthouse. Right,
Speaker 2: this is not normal behavior. And Ice is alleging that
Speaker 2: this is interfering with the duties of federal agents, right,
Speaker 2: that she's basically hiding an undocumented immigrant who is being
Speaker 2: actively tracked by Ice, right, and that that is a
Speaker 2: federal crime. And so that is the situation.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: When it was found out that this was happening, the
Speaker 2: FBI and ICE arrested her. She has since bailed out.
Speaker 2: She is facing several federal charges, and it's you know,
Speaker 2: kind of unclear where this case is going to go.
Speaker 2: In terms of her initial behavior. She was absolutely legally
Speaker 2: in the right. That administrative warrant did not give Ice
Speaker 2: the right to interrupt the court proceedings. She led them
Speaker 2: to the chief judge. That was all entirely within the law.
Speaker 2: We're going to learn how the law adjudicates what she
Speaker 2: did afterwards, Right, taking these people through, because it's not
Speaker 2: illegal to lead people through a back door. It's not
Speaker 2: a crime to tell people to leave this way. But
Speaker 2: what may be adjudicated as a crime is that by
Speaker 2: doing this, she was helping to aid in a bet
Speaker 2: the escape of a fugitive, Right, And that is the
Speaker 2: argument that the federal government is making here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't leave the building at that point, right,
Speaker 1: because in the charging documents, then an ICE agent gets
Speaker 1: in the elevator with them, yeah, and decides not to
Speaker 1: detain them at that point for some reason. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe that's what happened.
Speaker 2: And that part of is why I think they picked
Speaker 2: this case because they thought it was close enough on
Speaker 2: the edge enough that they could charge a judge. And
Speaker 2: I think that is the purpose of this more than
Speaker 2: going after this, and that's why they've been going to
Speaker 2: these courtses. They have been looking, they've been shopping for
Speaker 2: a situation like this, right, in part because one of
Speaker 2: the first things that happened is the Wisconsin Supreme Court
Speaker 2: suspended Judge Dugan right because she's been charged with two
Speaker 2: federal counts. And this is a normal thing. If a
Speaker 2: judge gets accused of federal crimes, you would, in normal
Speaker 2: terms want them to be suspended because those crimes are
Speaker 2: probably something like they were selling children to a child prison,
Speaker 2: which is a thing that happened to Trump. Pardon the
Speaker 2: judges responsible, right, you would want those people not trying
Speaker 2: cases while this was going on. But what's going to
Speaker 2: be done here, and what's already being done here, is
Speaker 2: that judges that are friendly to and sympathetic to undocumented
Speaker 2: people and who are not gigantic pieces of shit. And
Speaker 2: Judge Dugan comes out of a public defense background. This
Speaker 2: is somebody who defended people like the defendant in this
Speaker 2: case in her previous life as a lawyer, and I
Speaker 2: think acted with tremendous courage in this situation to try
Speaker 2: to protect somebody. They are going after her because remember one,
Speaker 2: they want to chill other judges from doing this, and
Speaker 2: number two, they can keep her off the bench right
Speaker 2: and assume she will be replaced with somebody worse, or
Speaker 2: that they will just clog up the system, either way
Speaker 2: of which works in their favor. So it will be
Speaker 2: unclear how things are going to work out in this case.
Speaker 2: I can't tell you legally what's going to happen that
Speaker 2: could go either way. I can tell you, and I
Speaker 2: think this is a very important point. It's a point
Speaker 2: Jared Yate Sexton, who's a scholar on fascism, made online
Speaker 2: about this particular case is we shouldn't give a shit
Speaker 2: if she broke the law. She did the right thing.
Speaker 2: These people are doing the wrong thing and they need
Speaker 2: to be stopped right And that is my overall stance.
Speaker 2: What she did was heroic and we should support her
Speaker 2: and fuck these people.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, yep, yep. I don't have a
Speaker 1: complicated take on that.
Speaker 4: Solidarity with the Wisconsin judiciary or at least one of them.
Speaker 3: At least one of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have a friend who knows her and says she's
Speaker 2: a very nice person, and her actions in this case
Speaker 2: certainly would seem to suggest that she's a very nice,
Speaker 2: good courageous person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like just to there's conceivably like a person
Speaker 1: listening who thinks that, you know, these deportation things are okay.
Speaker 1: I know if you are, fuck you, why this isn't
Speaker 1: for you? Go away? Yeah, well, yeah, we're not making
Speaker 1: it for you.
Speaker 2: Put rocks in your pockets, and yeah there's bodies of it.
Speaker 1: Whatever the even if you fucking like the deportation for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, you should be able to understand that doing
Speaker 1: this in court houses is bad if a let's just
Speaker 1: take an example, right, like, if a woman who is
Speaker 1: undocumented is subject to domestic violence, right, going to testifying
Speaker 1: court could lead to her being deported, Like, this is
Speaker 1: fucking bad.
Speaker 4: It could subject her to even more violence from the
Speaker 4: state from yeah, wherever she's trying to flee from, yeah.
Speaker 1: To being detained with people yeah, yes, if you leave
Speaker 1: in the judicial system right like, this stops it functioning.
Speaker 2: Also, I want to say this too, if you're purely
Speaker 2: coming at this from a perspective of like, well, I'm
Speaker 2: still a law and order guy, this also vastly endangers
Speaker 2: Wisconsin police because if every undocumented person who gets accused
Speaker 2: of a crime knows that, well, the instant I'm accused,
Speaker 2: I'm going to be sent to a fucking concentration camp.
Speaker 1: Might as well start shooting, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's why you don't see very many of these things
Speaker 4: happening in states where people regularly carry firearms.
Speaker 2: Yes, so again, you know that's all I'm saying. That's
Speaker 2: not my primary concern, but I'm going to make that point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what about the other like weirder case of the
Speaker 4: New Mexico case.
Speaker 3: The judge in New Mexico.
Speaker 2: Yes, so now back to my fellow New Mexico municipal judge.
Speaker 2: Actually think he was a judge, yea county magistrate. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so he and I basically the same. So there's this
Speaker 2: guy Nancy Cano who's a former police officer, his wife
Speaker 2: was a cop. And Joel Cano, who is the Donna
Speaker 2: Anna County magistrate judge. These two are really you wouldn't
Speaker 2: have expected what happened from this group. These two are
Speaker 2: a cop and a judge.
Speaker 3: Couple radical lefty lunatics who.
Speaker 2: Are wealthy landlords who own at least eight properties, and
Speaker 2: they hire three men to do like you know, contracting work.
Speaker 2: And those men included a guy Christian Ortega Lopez twenty
Speaker 2: three years old, right, who is a Venezuelan migrant. And
Speaker 2: first off, because these are cops or a cop and
Speaker 2: a judge, they like check his papers which say do
Speaker 2: not deport right, like he is in the the system,
Speaker 2: not subject. This person is not subject to removal, right,
Speaker 2: those are on his papers. They check his papers. They
Speaker 2: work for these three guys, work for them for a
Speaker 2: while and develop a close relationship with the Catos to
Speaker 2: the point that they refer to them as the boys,
Speaker 2: and when they get kicked out of their apartment, they
Speaker 2: let them live with them, I think for free or
Speaker 2: at least for a nominal fee. And as they describe it,
Speaker 2: they came to consider them part of the family. And
Speaker 2: there's like photo evidence of that, including photo evidence of
Speaker 2: them like going to the gun range together as like
Speaker 2: a family day at the gun range and shooting. And
Speaker 2: like this guy Artago Lopez like posts pictures of these
Speaker 2: people and these like family outings on his Facebook, like
Speaker 2: they really do seem to have all been very close. Yeah,
Speaker 2: earlier this year, Ice comes for these guys, the boys,
Speaker 2: these three dudes who are living on their property, in
Speaker 2: a small guest house on the Knos property, and they
Speaker 2: allege or Tega Ortiz to have been a member of
Speaker 2: Trinda Agua. And it's based on and I hate most
Speaker 2: of the reporting on this because it's all just like
Speaker 2: the alleged alleged gang member, alleged Trinda Agua member. And
Speaker 2: you look at it as well, he has tattoos and
Speaker 2: there's pictures of him with guns, pictures him with guns
Speaker 2: that are legally owned by Americans at a gun range.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a twenty three year old guy coming to America,
Speaker 1: Like there's a high correlation with those people and people
Speaker 1: going to a gun range.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing illegal with that, but they're like a gang
Speaker 2: member photos of guns on his Facebook.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: So these guys get arrested, right, and it's initially and
Speaker 2: this is like a month or so ago. It's big scandal.
Speaker 2: Cano resigns from his position as a magistrate, right and
Speaker 2: gets permanently barred serving as a judge in New Mexico
Speaker 2: because these guys had been on his property, even though
Speaker 2: again there's not any evidence that I have seen anywhere
Speaker 2: that he actually did anything illegal at this point. Now, yeah,
Speaker 2: here's where things get problematic. At this point, the boys
Speaker 2: are being you know, the government is treating them as
Speaker 2: people who are here illgally, and they are trying to
Speaker 2: kick them out, and they are accusing them, these three guys,
Speaker 2: of being evolved in Trindagua. At this point, Nancy Kano
Speaker 2: provides them with legal assistance in complying with the procedures
Speaker 2: of their pending immigration cases, right, which shouldn't be illegal.
Speaker 2: She's literally helping them abide by the law. Right.
Speaker 1: But there's some other things.
Speaker 2: So Joel Cano, this is where this guy turns from
Speaker 2: like fucking married a cop, he's a landlord, he smashes
Speaker 2: or take a Lopez's phone. He admits, he's admitted that
Speaker 2: he's done this. This is not an allegation with a
Speaker 2: hammer to stop Ice from getting it.
Speaker 1: So, first off, based.
Speaker 2: Illegal, super illegal, super illegal, but not a like a
Speaker 2: good person act, I would argue. Secondly, Nancy tries to help,
Speaker 2: and this is I think a grayer area. Tries to
Speaker 2: help or tag A Lopez delete his Facebook account, and
Speaker 2: I don't actually think there's any evidence of him doing
Speaker 2: anything illegal on there. I think it's just they knew
Speaker 2: the photos he'd posted of him not breaking any laws
Speaker 2: would be used as an argument that he had I
Speaker 2: think that that's defensible in court, although they will allege
Speaker 2: that it's destruction with the evidence that they may win
Speaker 2: on that. Breaking the phone is a you know, that's
Speaker 2: going to be a tough one for them. That's just
Speaker 2: going to be a tough one for them. Now the
Speaker 2: Kno's are currently being charged and they have been released.
Speaker 2: They can't leave the county. There was the prosecutors where
Speaker 2: tim they have them separated so that they couldn't talk
Speaker 2: about the case. But thank god the judge ruling was, like,
Speaker 2: they're married, they have a constitutional right.
Speaker 1: To be together. You don't get to do that.
Speaker 2: But obviously they have to like hand in their passports
Speaker 2: any guns they'd had, which they seem to have already done.
Speaker 2: The good news is that these are rich people, right
Speaker 2: Like the judge even makes a comment that, like, these
Speaker 2: are the wealthiest people I've ever had in my courtroom,
Speaker 2: so they have the resources to fight this. And again
Speaker 2: fucking politics making strange bedfellows. Yep, Yeah, critical support to
Speaker 2: the landlord, judge, cop couple who tried to protect these immigrits.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like whatever they did the right thing,
Speaker 2: you know, in my opinion, again not the legal thing,
Speaker 2: and I'm not urging you to follow them and breaking
Speaker 2: the law, making very clear it is illegal to break
Speaker 2: the phone of somebody that you know the police are
Speaker 2: looking for. Because they've been charged with crimes. That is
Speaker 2: a crime. I'm just saying. I think what they did
Speaker 2: was out of love and brave anyway, That's what I
Speaker 2: gotta say.
Speaker 3: Speaking of love, I love these ads. All Right, we
Speaker 3: are back.
Speaker 4: I am now going to discuss a I believe the
Speaker 4: word is a flurry of executive orders that happened the
Speaker 4: past week, because there was a ton This was a
Speaker 4: huge week for actions through through through executive order. We've
Speaker 4: tried to summarize a few of these that have like
Speaker 4: or a few orders that have come in the past
Speaker 4: few months. But but yeah, definitely the ones that happened
Speaker 4: last week are much more notable, and I will.
Speaker 3: Go through them one by one.
Speaker 4: Starting off with an attempt to possibly repeal large sections
Speaker 4: of the Civil Rights Act, Trump side in order to
Speaker 4: quote eliminate the use of disparate impact liability in all
Speaker 4: contexts to the maximum degree possible. Disparate impact is a
Speaker 4: legal theory that seeks to address discriminatory policies that, on
Speaker 4: their face may appear neutral but actually continue decades old,
Speaker 4: like discrimination and segregation. This order from Trump provokes presidential
Speaker 4: approval for Title six antidiscrimination regulations from the sixties and seventies,
Speaker 4: and orders all agencies to quote deprioritize enforcement of all
Speaker 4: statutes and regulations to the extent that they include disparate
Speaker 4: impact liability. The order calls for the Attorney General to
Speaker 4: quote initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing
Speaker 4: regulations for Title six the Civil Rights Act of nineteen
Speaker 4: sixty four. Cabinet members were also instructed to review all
Speaker 4: pending investigations, civil suits, consent judgments, permanent injunctions, and government
Speaker 4: positions that rely on sparate impact theory. That includes Titles
Speaker 4: seven and eight of the Civil Rights Act, which protects
Speaker 4: equal employment and fair housing. This is kind of part
Speaker 4: of a larger attack on civil rights in general. Obviously
Speaker 4: the past few months you've this with like DEI stuff,
Speaker 4: But last week the DOJ essentially closed its existing civil
Speaker 4: rights office, resigned a dozen senior career attorneys, curbed investigations
Speaker 4: into police misconduct and violations of voting and disability rights. Plus,
Speaker 4: the Education at Discrimination Division is now being directed to
Speaker 4: protect women's sports, and the Immigrant and Employee Rights Division
Speaker 4: was told to investigate companies that quote unlawfully discriminate against
Speaker 4: US workers in favor of foreign visa workers unquote. So
Speaker 4: that's how they think they're going to be defending civil
Speaker 4: rights is by keeping trans girls out of sports and
Speaker 4: going after foreign visa workers. Basically, they're trying to turn
Speaker 4: federal civil rights infrastructure against those whom they were meant
Speaker 4: to protect in the first place. The next order kind
Speaker 4: of outlies something I'm calling cop Nation. It's called quote
Speaker 4: strengthening and unleashing America's law enforcement to pursue criminals and
Speaker 4: protect innocent civilians. This is kind of like a proto
Speaker 4: martial law order. It's what you would do beforehand to
Speaker 4: strengthen police, but not actually declare martial law. It's setting
Speaker 4: kind of the path towards that, or at the very
Speaker 4: least like strengthening law enforcement to the degree to which
Speaker 4: it like butts up against what martial law would be.
Speaker 1: The order calls to.
Speaker 4: Quote unleash high impact local police forces, protect and defend
Speaker 4: law enforcement officers wrongly accused and abused by state or
Speaker 4: local officials, and surge resources to officers in need unquote.
Speaker 4: It directs the Attorney General to create a mechanism to
Speaker 4: have private sector law firms provide pro bono legal defense
Speaker 4: to police officers who quote unjustly incur expenses and liabilities
Speaker 4: for actions taken during the performance of their official duties
Speaker 4: to enforce the law unquote. So this tries to make
Speaker 4: it harder for police to be held accountable for a
Speaker 4: civil and criminal misconduct, basically extending qualified immunity to the
Speaker 4: criminal realm. According to Business Insider, quote, allowing previous executive
Speaker 4: orders to targeting a number of elite firms. Nine law
Speaker 4: firms have agreed to deals with the President and collectively
Speaker 4: agreed to provide nine hundred and forty million in pro
Speaker 4: bono legal services to support the President's policies. This order
Speaker 4: also calls to use federal resources to increase pay, expand training,
Speaker 4: and strengthen legal protections for police officers, as well as
Speaker 4: to quote seek enhanced sentences for crimes against law enforcement officers,
Speaker 4: promote investment in the security and capacity of prisons, and
Speaker 4: increase the investment in and collection, distribution and uniformity of
Speaker 4: crime data across jurisdictions. The Attorney General is directed to
Speaker 4: review and remove any previous accountability restrictions placed on to
Speaker 4: local or state law enforcement agencies that might unduly impede
Speaker 4: the performance of law enforcement functions. And then finally, quote,
Speaker 4: Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
Speaker 4: the Secretary of Homeland Security and the heads of agencies
Speaker 4: as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and
Speaker 4: national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist state and
Speaker 4: local law enforcement and shall determine how military and national
Speaker 4: security assets, training, non lethal capabilities, and personnel can most
Speaker 4: effectively be utilized to prevent crime unquote, so moving more
Speaker 4: national security resources over to state and local law enforcement,
Speaker 4: and directs the AG to go after state and local
Speaker 4: officials that struck to criminal law by quote, prohibiting law
Speaker 4: enforcement officers from carrying out duties necessary for public safety
Speaker 4: or unlawfully engage in discrimination or civil rights violations under
Speaker 4: the guise of DEI do you want to discuss anything
Speaker 4: with this you know, anti ACAB executive order here and
Speaker 4: what it might actually like do in reality besides you know,
Speaker 4: expanding like legal protections for cops.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the worrying ones to me is
Speaker 5: that they're very explicitly talking about using military national security
Speaker 5: assets like in the US against Americans, and the thing
Speaker 5: right now we're doing is like to prevent crime. But
Speaker 5: like I think very obviously everyone who's like to disny
Speaker 5: imediately gone. Like part of this obviously is about like
Speaker 5: trying to defeat any attempt to even moderately reform the police,
Speaker 5: But a lot of it is also like, yeah, they're
Speaker 5: expecting giant They're expecting giant protests this summer. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: they want to be able to use military assets here.
Speaker 5: And what they're doing with this, the Secretary of Defense
Speaker 5: is developing a plan to use military assets like presumably
Speaker 5: against protesters either that or you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: Like cecific thing here is like used to prevent crime,
Speaker 5: which is just like the deployment of the US military
Speaker 5: against like US Right, that's I think a pretty cut
Speaker 5: in dry. They are developing the apparatus through which they
Speaker 5: are going to attempt to deploy the army against the
Speaker 5: US citizens in the US.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 4: And it's also specifically like empowers like individual police officers
Speaker 4: against any like perceived restrictions that like local or state
Speaker 4: officials might be putting on them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's what makes it more super
Speaker 3: worrying for me.
Speaker 4: It's like it's like enabling like the police state aspect
Speaker 4: of like of the of the executive branch saying hey,
Speaker 4: like individual cops, we support you more so than whatever
Speaker 4: like local jurisdiction you are like under and if if
Speaker 4: the local jurisdictions start to restrict your ability to like
Speaker 4: to to do violence, restrict your ability to do your job,
Speaker 4: we are going to help you to make sure that
Speaker 4: you have the legal and like physical capacity to continue
Speaker 4: your job as you see fit.
Speaker 2: We will throw the high dollar lawyers that we have
Speaker 2: threatened into working for us at these states and municipalities.
Speaker 4: Yeah, both to like defend your individual actions and then
Speaker 4: also go after the people in charge of you, like
Speaker 4: like both of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So it's more like CPD black site shit, like yeah,
Speaker 5: Nazi gang shit, like you know them just like shooting people. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Like that's the kind of shit.
Speaker 1: The torture, the data sharing, I think is something people
Speaker 1: should be aware of. The like that that seemed to
Speaker 1: be what I would imagine will be funding for more
Speaker 1: federal fusion centers and then equipping them with like homeland
Speaker 1: security assets, intelligence assets that are already used outside the US,
Speaker 1: Like that is concerning especially in a climate of like
Speaker 1: migration crackdown, right, this data sharing will help them further
Speaker 1: target migrants well.
Speaker 4: And this relates to another executive order for protecting American
Speaker 4: communities from criminal aliens. Basically, it targets sanctuary cities. The
Speaker 4: Attorney General and the DHS Secretary will publish a list
Speaker 4: of sanctuary jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration
Speaker 4: law and federal funds those districts will be suspended or terminated,
Speaker 4: and if those districts remain sanctuary districts after officials have
Speaker 4: been notified of their status, then necessary legal remedies and
Speaker 4: enforcement measures shall be pursued to quote end these violations.
Speaker 4: Section one of this order lists several federal criminal laws
Speaker 4: that they say are being violated by these sanctuary districts,
Speaker 4: including quote obstruction of justice, un lawfully harboring or hiring
Speaker 4: illegal aliens, conspiracy against the United States, and conspiracy to
Speaker 4: impede federal law enforcement. Assisting aliens in violating federal immigration
Speaker 4: law could also violate the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act unquote,
Speaker 4: So they're even repiden rico here for state and local
Speaker 4: officials who are trying to protect immigrants in their communities.
Speaker 4: There's a few other executive orders I want to mention,
Speaker 4: including one that requires professional truck drivers speak English. I
Speaker 4: think this is actually just to mask the consequences of
Speaker 4: like the tariffs, with with.
Speaker 1: The fact that a lot of truck drivers are losing
Speaker 1: their jobs.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, so this is to like hide those layoffs
Speaker 4: or trying to force people to get laid off if
Speaker 4: they don't speak good enough English, or to like to
Speaker 4: create pretext to have these layoffs be justified as we see,
Speaker 4: you know, the shipping industry slowly collapse because of the tariffs.
Speaker 4: Another order that's just more frustrating, I guess to me
Speaker 4: and like worrying long term about the future is quote
Speaker 4: advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American youth. And I'm actually
Speaker 4: going to play a video here of Trump's signing this order.
Speaker 7: This next executive order relates to artificial intelligence education. Sir,
Speaker 7: You've obviously done a lot in the artificial intelligence space already.
Speaker 7: The basic idea of this executive order is to ensure
Speaker 7: that we properly train the workforce of the future by
Speaker 7: ensuring that school children, young Americans are adequately trained in
Speaker 7: AI tools so that they can be competitive in the
Speaker 7: economy years from now into the future. As AI becomes
Speaker 7: a bigger and bigger.
Speaker 8: Deal, that's a big deal. Here's AI is where it
Speaker 8: seems to be at. We have literally trillions of dollars
Speaker 8: being invested in AI, and there are somebody today, very
Speaker 8: smart person said that AI is the way to the future.
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's right or not, but certainly,
Speaker 8: very smart people are investing in it heavily.
Speaker 4: This clip is super interesting to be because it demonstrates
Speaker 4: just how little Trump knows what's really going on. Like
Speaker 4: this is the first time he's seen this order. He
Speaker 4: has to get explained what it is before he signs
Speaker 4: his name on it. They're just handing him these things
Speaker 4: and he's just signing papers.
Speaker 5: He is.
Speaker 4: He is not like dictating which things he actually wants
Speaker 4: to happen. He's just its handed stuff and there's cameras on.
Speaker 4: He's like, hey, this is to help AI with kids,
Speaker 4: and you're so smart about AI.
Speaker 3: Mister President. He's like, yes, I am. As he signs
Speaker 3: his name.
Speaker 4: The actual text disorder is really freaky.
Speaker 3: Quote.
Speaker 4: By fostering AI competency, we will equip our students with
Speaker 4: the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to adapt and thrive
Speaker 4: in an increasing digital society. Early learning and exposure to
Speaker 4: AI concepts not only demestifies this powerful technology, but also
Speaker 4: sparks curiosity and creativity, preparing students to become active and
Speaker 4: responsible participants in the workforce of the future. To achieve
Speaker 4: this vision, we must also invest in our educators and
Speaker 4: equip them with the tools and knowledge to not only
Speaker 4: train students about AI, but also to utilize AI in
Speaker 4: their classrooms to improve educational outcomes. Unquote James, how do
Speaker 4: you feel about that? As an educator yourself?
Speaker 1: Probably fifty percent of my time in the classroom right
Speaker 1: now is trying to explain to people where they shouldn't
Speaker 1: copy paste the assignment into chat GPT, and like every
Speaker 1: year for the past three or four years, we have
Speaker 1: dealt with like bots, like students in my class who
Speaker 1: are not real people. I've dealt with more and more
Speaker 1: and more use of AI. It's from people who I think,
Speaker 1: like the folks who are coming through my classroom now,
Speaker 1: like many of their like high school years when they
Speaker 1: should have been getting good solid like writing tuition work
Speaker 1: during COVID lockdowns, right and so like, I'm not entirely
Speaker 1: blaming like the folks coming through my class here, but.
Speaker 4: It is it's a fuck situation that's only getting worse.
Speaker 1: It's fucked. It's like I've been educating people for nearly
Speaker 1: two decades and like I've never come across anything this bad.
Speaker 1: It is fundamentally damaging people's engagement with education and their
Speaker 1: ability to learn.
Speaker 2: It's giving them permanent brain damage. It is life altering
Speaker 2: their ability to think in a way that may never
Speaker 2: be recoverable for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I don't want to be a boomer.
Speaker 2: Like, there's data on this, the AI companies have, Microsoft
Speaker 2: has data on this.
Speaker 1: It damages people. It needs to be finding good solutions
Speaker 1: for that. Writing assignments AI can't write like it's not
Speaker 1: that hard before people come into my mentions, right saying like, oh,
Speaker 1: you can use this to detect AI. I can detect
Speaker 1: it because the assignments it submits a shit. The problem
Speaker 1: is that people keep using it, like because it's Roberts
Speaker 1: said that they're running out of other options, right.
Speaker 4: And they're like really committing to this. The end of
Speaker 4: the order directs the Secretary of Education to provide grant
Speaker 4: funding to quote improve educational outcomes using AI, including but
Speaker 4: not limited to AI based high quality instructional resources, high
Speaker 4: impact tutoring, and college and career pathway exploration, advising and
Speaker 4: navigation unquote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, sadly like these federal and to extend
Speaker 1: state level too, like dictats, I guess do impact what
Speaker 1: you're supposed to put on your syllabus, right, Like especially
Speaker 1: for like high school students, these can genuinely impact act
Speaker 1: what what high school teachers are supposed to teach. It
Speaker 1: changes a little bit like once you get to the
Speaker 1: university level. And I guess we'll we'll see how this goes.
Speaker 1: But like this, this genuinely could have a very damaging
Speaker 1: impact on and it already has had a damaging impact
Speaker 1: on the US education system.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have one more thing I want to read here.
Speaker 4: This is actually a presidential memorandum, uh, not an executive order,
Speaker 4: but this caused to investigate Democrat and grassroots funding platform
Speaker 4: Act Blue, a legend quote schemes to launder excessive and
Speaker 4: prohibited contributions to political candidates and committees unquote.
Speaker 3: Actlue has been the target.
Speaker 4: Of conspiracy theories for years, starting with James O'Keeffe and
Speaker 4: Elon Musk has recently targeted Act Blue with with bizarre
Speaker 4: conspiracy theories on how Act Blue functions and is used
Speaker 4: to funnel money to like Antifa and and uh, you know,
Speaker 4: George Soros money getting getting moved over to all of
Speaker 4: these you know, Tesla Vandal's crazy stuff. But specifically, Trump
Speaker 4: is calling the Atturner and Treasury Secretary to quote investigate
Speaker 4: allegations regarding the unlawful use of online fundraising platforms to
Speaker 4: make straw or dummy contributions or foreign contributions to political
Speaker 4: candidates and committees, and to take appropriate action to enforce
Speaker 4: the law unquote. I think this whole thing beyond trying
Speaker 4: to you know, harm the Democrats' ability to like win
Speaker 4: elections in the future as a form of collection meddling
Speaker 4: is also just like a spig smoke screen away from
Speaker 4: a CNN investigation last year into deceptive practices used by
Speaker 4: political fundraising platforms Win Red and Act Blue, which found
Speaker 4: that the Republican platform had more than seven times the
Speaker 4: fraud complaints sent to the FCC, then Act Blue during
Speaker 4: the period of twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: with the fundraising platform targeting aging seniors who thought they
Speaker 4: were personal friends of the Trump family with propaganda and
Speaker 4: emails that tricked them into slanning up for recurring donations
Speaker 4: and what they thought was a personal correspondence to President Trump.
Speaker 4: It's a really worrying investigation. It'll be linked below. And like,
Speaker 4: you know, meanwhile, you have el On Musk literally offering
Speaker 4: people millions of dollars to like get people to sign
Speaker 4: up to vote and sign petitions, and and yet they're
Speaker 4: gonna try to try to investigate, you know, fraud in
Speaker 4: Democrat and grassroots fundraising, which I'm sure there is a
Speaker 4: little bit of, but according to this investigation by see
Speaker 4: an End, so much more fraud on the on the
Speaker 4: on the Republican fundraising platform.
Speaker 5: You know, there is actually one Democrat who we can
Speaker 5: verifiably claim did a bunch of weird fundraising ship and
Speaker 5: did straw donations from foreign donors. And it is Eric Adams,
Speaker 5: who is Trump's favorite Democrat. Trump is personally keeping out
Speaker 5: of prison. Oh god past.
Speaker 4: Anyway, that is the that's the flurry. We're gonna go
Speaker 4: on one more break and then come back to close
Speaker 4: out on some immigration and tariff updates.
Speaker 9: Hell yeah, we're back.
Speaker 2: And wait, what's that? Do you hear the dulcet tones
Speaker 2: of an angel?
Speaker 1: Sorry rocky jazz rockety jazz bot sorry locking.
Speaker 9: Rocking jazz rocky jazz bo.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get to the rest of the Clash catalog.
Speaker 1: We got four years. Yes, yes, I'm really looking for
Speaker 1: Secrating the Temple. We're working on a.
Speaker 2: Cover of Lost in the Supermarket where there's just nothing
Speaker 2: in the supermarket because of the terriffs. It's actually very
Speaker 2: easy to find my way around in the supermarket now
Speaker 2: because there's nothing on sale.
Speaker 5: All Right, what's actually happening with with the turf tariffs.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm just gonna start by reading Trump's incredible
Speaker 5: cope about why everything's going to ship. This is Trump,
Speaker 5: This is a truth from true social This is Biden's
Speaker 5: stock market, not Trumps. I didn't take over until January twentieth.
Speaker 5: Terrorists will start kicking in. We soon start kicking in,
Speaker 5: and companies are starting to move to the US and
Speaker 5: record numbers. Our country will boom, but we have to
Speaker 5: get rid of the Biden quote overhang. This will take
Speaker 5: a while, has nothing to do with the tariffs all caps,
Speaker 5: only that he left us with bad numbers. But when
Speaker 5: the boom begins, it will be like no other.
Speaker 1: Be patient.
Speaker 4: This is Biden's stock market.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So the reason he's saying this is that so today
Speaker 5: we got a report that the US for the first
Speaker 5: quarter suffered the first like actual economic contraction of the
Speaker 5: economy since like twenty twenty two, and that basically there
Speaker 5: was like one quarter in twenty twenty two, we're contracted.
Speaker 5: And then it like basically since like the lockdowns, it's
Speaker 5: been expanding, we are probably already in the recession. And
Speaker 5: the other thing there was bec us very important to
Speaker 5: note here, right is you're seeing a lot of reporting
Speaker 5: about this being a contraction, and a lot of the
Speaker 5: reporting will talk about how like, yeah, now, this is
Speaker 5: because people are like rushing to do their all their
Speaker 5: imports right now before the tariff's hit. The thing is, right,
Speaker 5: this economic contraction is like before the actual substantive impact
Speaker 5: of the tariff's hit. So this is just the beginning
Speaker 5: of like the rolling economic collapse, and all of these
Speaker 5: surf tariffs are going to generate. There's been a little
Speaker 5: bit of movement in the sense that like, okay, so
Speaker 5: when I last talked about sort of the declines in
Speaker 5: like shipping from China or just shipping in general, it
Speaker 5: was mostly like sort of I don't know what you'd
Speaker 5: call them, chipping, industry, trade press. This has hit like
Speaker 5: the mainstream press now that you know, and some of
Speaker 5: these indicators are doing sixty percent import drops from China,
Speaker 5: and it looks like China is maybe kind of starting
Speaker 5: the preliminary things to figure out how to figure out negotiations,
Speaker 5: and that they've been the Chinese government has been going
Speaker 5: behind the scenes and talking to a bunch of like
Speaker 5: high profile American companies and has been like quietly repealing
Speaker 5: some of there one hundred and twenty five percent retaliatory
Speaker 5: tariffs in the US on like very specific goods. We'll
Speaker 5: see what happens there. There hasn't been more movement than that.
Speaker 5: What is also very interesting is that so okay, so
Speaker 5: like obviously like a bunch of prices are just increasing
Speaker 5: already in places like like Temu and like Shean and
Speaker 5: Amazon was going to have like a counter that showed
Speaker 5: how much additional money you were spending because of the tariffs.
Speaker 5: And they announced that they were going to do this,
Speaker 5: and then President Trump like got on the phone with
Speaker 5: Jeff Bezos and yelled at him, and then Jeff Bezos
Speaker 5: said he wasn't going to do it. But this is
Speaker 5: also an interesting thing because we're actually starting to see
Speaker 5: cracks between Trump and like people like Besis, like the
Speaker 5: tech people who really have been his like closest basis
Speaker 5: support right for like for this whole the entire project
Speaker 5: in terms of like sect like large scale sectors of capital.
Speaker 5: It's been these people who've been backing him, and I
Speaker 5: think as as the stuff continues, we're going to continue
Speaker 5: to see rifts between them that administration over shit like
Speaker 5: this because you know, like people get really really It's
Speaker 5: something we've talked about a lot in episodes we've done
Speaker 5: on pricing and inflation, is that people get really pissed
Speaker 5: off and prices go up, and that's a way to like,
Speaker 5: you know, this is a problem for these companies because
Speaker 5: this is the way you lose sort of brand loyalty,
Speaker 5: and that's like how everything goes to shit. And Trump
Speaker 5: has to is doing all these deflections to be like
Speaker 5: it's not actually the terrorists that are doing this, because
Speaker 5: people are gonna be really pissed about this, and yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't know, welcome, Welcome to quarter one of the recession.
Speaker 5: This is going to be the best quarter of the
Speaker 5: economy for a long time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tariff talk, Okay, so it's closed out with immigration update,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna run a few speed run a few
Speaker 1: of these and we'll get a bill deeper into some
Speaker 1: of them. The New York Times is reporting that once
Speaker 1: again the Trump administration is separating has separated a child
Speaker 1: from their parents.
Speaker 5: Jesus Fucking Christ yep.
Speaker 1: A federal court denied the government's motion to dismiss a
Speaker 1: First Amendment challenge to its policy of deport in pro
Speaker 1: Palestine anti genocide activists. So that allows the case to
Speaker 1: go ahead. Right, So it allows a First Amendment challenge
Speaker 1: to be mounted, which is a good thing, right given
Speaker 1: that this is their policy right now is a frontal
Speaker 1: assault on the First Amendment for people who are not citizens.
Speaker 1: In the Abrego Garcia case, both sides agreed to a
Speaker 1: seven day pause in the discovery process after the passing
Speaker 1: of sealed motions. Then on Tuesday, Tuesday this week, the
Speaker 1: DOJ filed another sealed motion. We can speculate, and you
Speaker 1: will see people speculating if you go onto the Blue
Speaker 1: Skuy or Twitter or whatever. I don't think it's beneficial
Speaker 1: to do that in this case. Right what we should
Speaker 1: be focusing on is that a man is in a
Speaker 1: prison camp who did nothing wrong. It doesn't matter that
Speaker 1: justice system is continuing to fail him, because he is
Speaker 1: still there and so are hundreds of other people. The
Speaker 1: Experimental Quote National Defense Area, New Mexico. So we spoke
Speaker 1: last week about the Roosevelt Reservation, right, And they are
Speaker 1: starting this militarization of the Roosevelt Reservation with an area
Speaker 1: in New Mexico. And we've seen the first charges that
Speaker 1: are filed against migrants. According to Washington Post, at least
Speaker 1: twenty eight people have been charged or added to their
Speaker 1: charges a penalty for violation of security regulations in addition
Speaker 1: to their make charge with the entry without inspection right.
Speaker 1: Hegxeth visited the area this week, and he talked about
Speaker 1: how they were going to post signage in English and
Speaker 1: Spanish to indicating that crossing the area would be trespassing
Speaker 1: on US military property. Increasing numbers of migrants over the
Speaker 1: last few years have not spoken either of those languages.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem to be something they've accounted for here.
Speaker 1: The US Attorney for New Mexico allegedly, according to the
Speaker 1: Post quote, can't wait to begin charging people who cross.
Speaker 1: So that's great. And so it does seem that they
Speaker 1: are using this, as we talked about a week or
Speaker 1: so ago, as a way to quickly charge and then
Speaker 1: deport people who are entering the United States between ports
Speaker 1: of entry and other court news. A judge in Colorado
Speaker 1: places attentative Training Order on the use of the Alien
Speaker 1: Enemies Act there without twenty one days of notice in
Speaker 1: a language of person understands advising them of their right
Speaker 1: to bring a Habeast challenge. So that means if someone
Speaker 1: is going to be removed under the AEA, they have
Speaker 1: to get three weeks of notice, and that notice has
Speaker 1: to advise them that they have the right to bring
Speaker 1: a challenge. And then as opposed to what they're doing
Speaker 1: right now, which is deporting people extremely quickly. Right and
Speaker 1: this was upheld by the Tenth Circuit, so that's in
Speaker 1: place there. It'll be interesting to see how many of
Speaker 1: them are able to bring. Still, bringing a Habeast challenges complicated.
Speaker 1: It could be expensive and requires a lot of legal time,
Speaker 1: and I know most lawyers who work in immigration are overwhelmed. Currently, Yes,
Speaker 1: in California, a judge has ruled that CBP can't carry
Speaker 1: out warrantless stops and arrests after the ACLU filed a
Speaker 1: suit in response to the CBP sector's operation returned to Cender,
Speaker 1: which happened in late twenty twenty four. So people, this
Speaker 1: is one of the things that people may have already
Speaker 1: forgotten about. But in December of twenty twenty four, CBP
Speaker 1: started detaining residents, migrants, laborers outside of home depot, a
Speaker 1: grocery store, and at road checkpoints up in California Central Valley. Right,
Speaker 1: people are thinking, oh, the Central Valley is a very
Speaker 1: long way from El Centro, what are they doing up there.
Speaker 1: I've included a map of border patrol sectors in the
Speaker 1: sources today so people can see. But although the El
Speaker 1: Centro sector only spans seventy one miles of linear border,
Speaker 1: it goes a lot further north. So that's what they
Speaker 1: were doing up there. The judge in this case, who
Speaker 1: is US District Court judge Jennifer Thurston, said, quote, you
Speaker 1: just can't walk up to people with brown skin and
Speaker 1: say give me your papers. There's some very good reporting
Speaker 1: on this in cow Matters, which I've also linked in
Speaker 1: the sources today. Notably, I looked through the order to day,
Speaker 1: the core order, and one of the things we get
Speaker 1: is kind of a vision into how Border patrol is
Speaker 1: expediting these deportations. Right, So I'm going to quote from
Speaker 1: that order here. Quote once Border patrol agents transported the
Speaker 1: people they're rested to the El Centro station, they would
Speaker 1: quote extract voluntary departure agreements from as many people as
Speaker 1: possible without explaining the consequences. And this is all that.
Speaker 1: This is the plaintiff's contention, which is aclu Right. So
Speaker 1: we've seen this a lot, right, Like we saw it
Speaker 1: in the case when they detained a citizen in Tucson
Speaker 1: not so long ago. That they're trying to get people
Speaker 1: to sign these documents. Sometimes you're not actually in most cases,
Speaker 1: I believe you're not actually signing a physical document. You're
Speaker 1: signing one of those little pressure pad screens and you
Speaker 1: might be given an iPad to read the document on,
Speaker 1: but you don't get a chance to look and flick
Speaker 1: through the document and then sign it. Left, sign a
Speaker 1: physical copy of the document. Right. The injunction that happened
Speaker 1: here only applies in the Eastern District of California. The
Speaker 1: judge also ordered Border Patrol to record all arrests and
Speaker 1: stops and report them within forty days. The government argued
Speaker 1: this would be too burdensome, which is odd because they're
Speaker 1: already required to do paperwork when they're arrest or stop someone, right,
Speaker 1: But that was a rule by the judge. Despite this,
Speaker 1: so the our central sector has still been carrying out
Speaker 1: operations way north of land border, including recently outside a
Speaker 1: home depot in Pomona. So this is CBP, not ICE, right,
Speaker 1: people that are familiar with that distinction, but at least
Speaker 1: in the Eastern district, they can't be stopping people now
Speaker 1: without warrants. That's a good thing from the courts. I
Speaker 1: guess those are. I know we've got a long episode today.
Speaker 1: Those are the most important immigration things that I've come
Speaker 1: up with this week. I'm sure something will happen between
Speaker 1: us recording this coming out, but yeah, that's what I've
Speaker 1: got for you.
Speaker 4: The last thing that we'll mention is that Mosen Modowi,
Speaker 4: the US screen cardholder who was arrested by ICE at
Speaker 4: his citizenship interview, has been released from ICE custody as
Speaker 4: of April thirtieth, i order of a Vermont judge. This
Speaker 4: is really the first piece of good news we've had
Speaker 4: in relation to Trump's crackdown on Palestinian protesters and student protests. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: Madowi's case will still continue, but you will not be
Speaker 4: in ICE custody for the duration of this case.
Speaker 1: And I think we saw in the Mapood Khalil case,
Speaker 1: the judge has ordered that New Jersey is a correct
Speaker 1: jurisdiction for that case to proceed, So that offers a
Speaker 1: possibility of saying that it's essentially the same charge that
Speaker 1: both of them have right or the same reasoning for
Speaker 1: trying to remove them, so hopefully we will see a
Speaker 1: similar result there.
Speaker 4: We'll be following up on both these stories as they progress.
Speaker 4: But that does it for us today. Here at it
