1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Law with June Grasso, a federal appeals 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: court ordered Judge Emmett Sullivan to immediately dismiss the criminal 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: case against President Trump's former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. The 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: panel divided along party lines, with Trump appointee Naomi Row 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: joining with George H. W. Bush appointee Karen Henderson in 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: the majority, and Obama appointee Robert Wilkins dissenting. The Justice 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: Department had made a surprise motion to dismiss the case 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: against Flynn before his sentencing, but the divided three judge 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: panel decided that Judge Sullivan did not have the authority 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: to decide on his own whether to grant that government motion. 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: Joining me, his national security attorney, Bradley Moss, a partner 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: at Mark, said this was a surprise too many, because 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: you had Flynn requesting an extraordinary remedy, and during oral 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: arguments the judges appeared skeptical of granting that. Yeah. Well, 16 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: this is the reminder that so many of us always 17 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: say when people start live tweeting oral arguments and start 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: making conclusions about how judges will rule based on them. 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: Never ever read too much into oral arguments because you 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: never know whether or not the judges are simply road 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: testing some ideas for themselves, or you know, just putting 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: you through the motions, or if they actually are an 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: agreement with the particular line of questions they're bringing against you. 24 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: And this was very much that case. You listen to 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: oral arguments, you would have thought it was gonna be 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: three zip denying the rate of man damus, but instead 27 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: it was to one in favor of granting it, which 28 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: certainly caught some people by surprise this morning. This was 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: a somewhat controversial ruling to say the least. There's certainly, 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: you know, some weakness in the citations provided by the 31 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: majority opinion to back up some of their arguments as 32 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: a point where they're literally just pointing to a legal 33 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: treatise and no case law as justification for the premise 34 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: that it was any standard for seeking relief or any 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: precedent for it, where there's already been a guilty flea 36 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: and the judge hasn't even ruled on anything yet. So 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: it's likely, although not guaranteed, that this will go before 38 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: the full DC Circuit. Any of the current judges on 39 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: the circuit can ask for an on bond hearing and 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: then it goes before a vote. At least six judges 41 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: have to vote in favor of it for it to 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: have that full circuit hearing. If they do so, they'll 43 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: likely vacate this to one opinion. But there's no guarantees 44 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: on that, and there's no guarantees on how the full 45 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: circuit might it's entirely possible to full circuit might agree 46 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: with this opinion by Judge Rows, So we're just gonna 47 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: have to wait and see. But needless to say, this 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: was a bit of a surprise today. So in the 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: majority opinion, Judge Naomi Row said, this is not the 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: unusual case where a more searching inquiry is justified, but 51 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: this case has been anything but usual. Yes, So the 52 00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: premise essentially of her um analysis was that for there 53 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: to be a basis for this relief to for there 54 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: to be a basis to rebut the presumption of regularity 55 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: that is accorded to the submissions made by the Justice 56 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: Department in support of Flynn uh the starters being dropped. 57 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: There need to be something to extraordinary, something similar to 58 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: what they've seen in the past. When they've been willing 59 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: to um reject this idea and to find that allowing 60 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: a judge to inquire prior to granting the Rule forty 61 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: eight motion would be warranted. And the reason they that 62 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: Judge Rouse said it was not warranted here was given 63 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: the agreement between the parties to drop it in the 64 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: sense that Justice for I would agreed that they should 65 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: drop the charges against Mr Flynn, which is something the 66 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: Just Department does do to be fair from time to time, 67 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: is decided to pull back cases they brought. It was 68 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: in light of submissions again made by the Justice Department 69 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: which the Court gave the presumption of regularity, and it 70 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: was the fact that the only cases in the past 71 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: where they've ever early authorized this kind of judicial inquiry 72 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: was where they were concerned about prosecutorial harassment and there 73 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: was a dispute, and there was the parties were still 74 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: in disagreement over how to proceed. Essentially, Judge Rowle's assessment 75 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: here is the Court should not take over the role 76 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: of prosecutor in any way or start second guessing the 77 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: executive branches authority to conduct or withdraw prosecution, because it 78 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: would usurp that, you know, balance of power between the 79 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: separate branches. Did it seem that there was a concern 80 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: on Row's part with what might happen at future hearings 81 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: by Judge Sullivan, that Judge Sullivan would be inquiring as 82 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: to the process that the Justice Department went through and 83 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: coming to this decision to drop the charges. Correct, Yeah, 84 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: so what she didn't want and what obviously would have 85 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: happened if the proceedings if such Salvan ultimately refused to 86 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: grant the motion, was that there would have been appealing 87 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: back of some of the inner workings of how the 88 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: just Partment came to this conclusion. Whether you know what 89 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: the internal discussions were beyond what Sporty been submitted into 90 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: the record, we know what what just Parmac gave. The 91 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: Justice Department did not withdraw any of their prior AFFI 92 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: David's concluding that all Brady disclosures were complied with and 93 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: things along those lines, denying that there was misconduct. What 94 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: the government submitted was in an explanation that the original 95 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: premise for the inquiry was no longer justified or valid 96 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: when the interviews with Michael Flynn occurred, and that because 97 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: of that they were withdrawing it. Not bas stuff misconduct, 98 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: not bring stuff up, Brady violations and all the things 99 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: that the Flynn team had argued, but merely that the 100 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: investment of the inquiry should never have occurred in the 101 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: first place, a very limited the narrow legal technicality, and 102 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: that the analysis beyond that. That's what Judge Row was 103 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: scerned about Judge Sullivan digging into is that it would 104 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: become too much of an inquiry into the inner workings 105 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,559 Speaker 1: of the Justice Department, and that it was unwarranted given 106 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: the Sir prominence indescent was Obama appointee Judge Robert Wilkins, 107 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: and he said that the majority had ironically exceeded their 108 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: own authority while accusing Sullivan of overstepping his Is he right, Well, 109 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: it depends on how you tend to view some of 110 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: this case law and some of the existing precedent. So 111 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: there was an existing precedent in the circuits that the 112 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: Flint team was relying upon. It's this soccer case that 113 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: so that served as kind of a baseline for saying 114 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: that there's limits to what judges are really allowed to 115 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: do in this context where there is an effort by 116 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: the by the Just Department to withdraw charges that originally 117 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: had brought. And you know, the argument by the Flint 118 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: team was that precedent ruled here and therefore you should 119 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: grant the damous because judges are supposed to be going 120 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: into this anyways based off that precedent. What wilkins concern was, 121 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: and what the concern of several individuals such as myself is, 122 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: is that that ruling from the previous case, from the 123 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: soccer case didn't have a similar set of circumstances sufficient 124 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: to warrant applying it here, because here the guilty pleas 125 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: had already been entered into, there had already been motions 126 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: to vacate emotions throughout the charges that had been denied 127 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: by the judge, and then all of a sudden d 128 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: o J decided to drop charges at the last minute. 129 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: It was a different set of circumstances. So what Wilkins 130 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 1: was concerned about was that by providing this extraordinary relief 131 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: of man Daneus, the circuit was, as he said, us 132 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: surfing it's authority by intervening before the judge had even 133 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: done anything. Because Judge Sultan hasn't denied the motion to 134 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: dismiss the charges. He just asked traditional information and that 135 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: is wilkins concern, and it's entirely possible Judge Sullivan would 136 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: have granted the dismissal of the charges. But this is 137 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: this is getting into the nuances and the very granular 138 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: level of detail of legal technicalities that Judge Wilkins was 139 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: concerned about. And if this goes before the full Circuit, 140 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: I think you're going to see a lot of discussion 141 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: on that. So Judge Sullivan has the right to appeal 142 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: this to the full Circuit. So either Judge Sullivan could 143 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: seek review by the full Circuit, or one of the 144 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: judges on the circuit him or herself could do it 145 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: on their own. They have that authority to seek a 146 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: vote by the full DC Circuit on whether or not 147 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: to rehear the case before the entire circuit. That would 148 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: have to be at least six judges who would ultimately 149 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: vote in favor of rehearing it for that to occurred. 150 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: There's certainly some time still before any appeal or any 151 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: position would have to be filed. It's way too early 152 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: to know what will happen here. I don't know if 153 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Judge Sullivan will want to even bother with it or 154 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: to leave it to one of the other judges on 155 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: the circuits decide if they want to rehear it. But 156 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: certainly for the Flint team, they've got to be happy today. 157 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: And the last time one of Judge rowse a Indians 158 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: went to the full circuit, she was overruled. Yes, and 159 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: I mean Judge row has a very strict originalist and 160 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: conservative viewpoint on the law. That's why she got the 161 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: appointment she did. That's what the the party was trying 162 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: to push in terms of how case law was applied 163 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: and how both the Constitution and the existing statutes were applied. 164 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Whether or not this analysis she has here in this opinion, 165 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: which I view is not the most strong legal argument, 166 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: but certainly something that could survive. Whether or not that 167 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: would survive or rehearing before the full circuit, I'm not 168 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: going to claim that I have and that clairvoyance and 169 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: that ability to see in the future to determine it. 170 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: I would certainly put my money against her on a rehearing, 171 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: but anything is possible. So what this means is that 172 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: if a defendant lies to a court, or if a 173 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: defendant commits perjury and the Justice Department doesn't care about 174 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: it and decides to drop the charges, there's nothing that 175 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: the judge can do to protect the integrity of his 176 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: or her court. Correct According to this precedent, and according 177 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: to this granted man damos that the judge has no 178 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: authority to inquire further under these particular kinds of circumstances. 179 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: The judge, despite the fact that Rule forty eight, which 180 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: was the basis for seeking dismissal of the charges, despite 181 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: the fact that Rule forty eight requires leave of the court, 182 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: requires the court to sign off on it, and despite 183 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: the fact that that rule was crafted for the very 184 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: purpose of avoiding, you know, political crony ism in how 185 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: prosecutions were brought. It is the view of Judge Row 186 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: and her assessment that the judges should not be getting 187 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: into that in this kind of situation absent some evidence 188 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: of prosecutorial harassment. It's unusual timing because today the House 189 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: is holding hearing on the very question that Judge Sullivan 190 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: was going to inquire into the politicization of the Justice Department. 191 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: Correct O, It's irony abounds today. Yeah, because there's the 192 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: hearing rights to say before the House on the Stone case. 193 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: The prosecutors Olinsky is going to testify about politicization of 194 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: the process and how the sentencing recommendations were messed with, 195 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: and whether or not there were efforts to corrupt it 196 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: on behalf of the president's allies in that case, Roger Stone. 197 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: Bill Barr is coming under a lot of criticism in 198 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: the past month for several things that he's done. The 199 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee wants him to testify. He has yet to 200 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: testify before the Judiciary Committee. Can they do anything if 201 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: he says no, I'm not going to testify under the 202 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: existing standard that was litigated with respect of Don McGann, 203 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: the answer is now Don McGan refused to testify and 204 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: the impeachment inquiries. There was a lawsuit brought to compelace testimony. 205 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: There was a favorable ruling I think was how Uniciary 206 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: Commity brought the lawsuit to compel us testimony, but they 207 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: lost the DC Circuit in one rule that ruling is 208 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: on appear right now before the full Circuit. The t 209 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: one ruling was vacated, but technically that standards still survives 210 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: at the moment. So if the House brought a lawsuit 211 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: to compel Bill bars testimony at the moment, it's anyone's 212 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: guess what the actual legal standard would be on if 213 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: they even have the standing to compel that testimony. Has 214 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: there been other U S attorneys who dominated the department 215 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: to such an extent? You know, there certainly have been 216 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, powerful with US Attorney General JANUARYO was certainly one. 217 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: Eric Holder was no shrinking Violet. You know, you think 218 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: back to next anything of John Mitchell. But Bill bar 219 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: and part of this is the current era seven social media, 220 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: which overtook cable television to even get more infecting the 221 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: people every waking moment. That's kind of given Bill Barbit 222 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: of a greater area here than we would have ordinarily 223 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: given him. But there is something to be said about 224 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: concerned of how he has intervened to undo past actions 225 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: by the Justice Department in a way that seems to 226 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: be overly favoring the President and the President's friends and 227 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: allies more than necessarily the administration of Justice. That's why 228 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: there's been resignations, That's why there's people testifying today before 229 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: the House on politization at the d o J. That's 230 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: why people at George Washington, the Untity Generals, ALBA Mater 231 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: have denounced him. That's why the New York Bar Association 232 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: has written scathing public remarks on his action. Do I 233 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: think Bill bar cares no? Because Bill bar has his 234 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: view of the world, because his view of how the 235 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: laws applied. If he's going to continue to pursue it 236 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: so long as he has that authority, that's Bradley Mass 237 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: of Mark say. The d C. Circuit Court of Appeals 238 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: gave a win to President Trump on immigration, just days 239 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: after the Supreme Court derailed his effort to lift Obama 240 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: error protections for nearly seven has an undocumented immigrants known 241 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: as dreamers. The court ruled that the administration can use 242 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: fast track deportation proceedings for undocumented immigrants found anywhere in 243 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: the United States who have been in the country for 244 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: less than two years. It's a major setback for states 245 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: that back the lawsuit trying to block the plan. Joining 246 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: me as a Laura mccourgee, director of Columbia Law Schools 247 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: Immigrants Rights Clinic. First of all, explain what this ruling does. 248 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: The ruling from yesterday expands and authorizes the use of 249 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: a provisionist law called expedited removal across the country. Congress 250 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: first authorizing of expedited removal with the passage of the 251 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: law in ninet but expedited removal has not been to 252 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: its fullest extent until last am I, when then Acting 253 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: Secretary of HS Kevin McAleenan said, we are going to 254 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: authorize the use of expedited removal nationwide. And what this 255 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: means in practice now that the Court has authorized it 256 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: is that in a few months, it may be possible 257 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: for immigration authorities nationwide two apprehend those who are undocumented 258 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: or those who are perceived to be in the United 259 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: States for less than two years and quickly remove them 260 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: from the country. Expedited Removal lives up to its name, 261 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: and those who are apprehended and put into expedited removal 262 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: proceedings are removed from the United States in about eleven 263 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: and a half days from the time of apprehension the 264 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: time that they're put into the program. For the people 265 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: who are caught up in the program, they have no 266 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: access to an immigration judge. They have no access to 267 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: any federal court or state court jedge to whom they 268 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: may put their case. Their case is entirely decided. Their 269 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: deportation is entirely decided by a line immigration officer whose 270 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: work is only reviewed on paper by a supervisor. So 271 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: there is an extremely high risk of erroneous implication for 272 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: people who may get caught up in the system, and 273 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: it's really really hard to come back into the United 274 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: States if a person has been aroneously supported. Why did 275 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: the court say it was all right for the Trump 276 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: administration to expand this? So the lower court, the District Court, 277 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: held that the expansion of expedited removal was not properly 278 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: done by the administration. The lower court held that the 279 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: administration had failed to follow federal administrative procedure law, which 280 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: requires a notice and common period prior to the inaction 281 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: prior to enacting this type of wide sweeping policy and review. 282 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: But what two judges on the DC Circuit Court held 283 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: is that federal law commits quote, sole and unreviewed, full 284 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: discretion to the Secretary of Homeland Security about whether to 285 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: subject individuals to this expedited removal procedure. So what the 286 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: DC Circuit Court judges held is there was no need 287 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: for the administration to follow federal administrative law in enacting 288 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: this policy since Congress had already authorized it back in 289 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: nine And what is also important to know, though, is 290 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: that the DC Circuit Court of Appeals only ruled on 291 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: two issues, whether the courts have jurisdiction to consider the case, 292 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: meaning do they have authority to hear the case, and 293 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: seconds whether the administration's new policy and expedited removal comports 294 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: with federal administrative law. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals 295 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: did not rule on the plaintiffs statutory claims, meaning whether 296 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: it violates in the Gracian statutes, and it also did 297 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: not rule on the plaintiffs constitutional claims, meaning whether it 298 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: violated the US Constitution, and the DC Circuit Court of 299 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: Appeals sent the case back to the federal District Court 300 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: for consideration of those claims. So then how big a 301 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: setback is this? Then? I think we will see. Right 302 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: now it is unclear. So the decision does not go 303 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: into effect immediately. It will be stayed, meaning it will 304 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: be on pause until at the earliest August fourteens, at 305 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: which point the District Court and the parties will need 306 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 1: to decide how to proceed with the case in terms 307 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: of an immigrants right to advocate, which I am. I 308 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: am really worried about the decision because it is possible 309 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: that it will take effect after August fourteens and will 310 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: allow immigration officers around the country to target those who 311 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: they perceived to be in the United States lesson two years, 312 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: apprehend them, put them in immigration detention centers, and then 313 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: subjects them to removal on an extremely fast basis. Now 314 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: that said, there is still hope. It is still possible 315 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: that um the statutory claims, so the immigration law claims 316 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: and the constitutional claims will succeed in court had there 317 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: been proven cases where immigrants were deported who were actually 318 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: here legally. Yes, dozens and dozens of documented cases of immigrants, 319 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: including naturalized US citizens and natural born US citizens meaning 320 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: those born in the United States, who have been deported wrongly. 321 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: Now this decision opens up an enormous leeway for immigration 322 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: authorities to target those who they perceive to be in 323 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: the United States for less than two years. This opens 324 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: up enormous concerns about racial profiling and who will be 325 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: targeted by the decision. It also compounds existing problems in 326 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: immigration detention centers where coronavirus is spreading increasingly rapidly, and 327 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: immigration detention centers are hotbeds for the virus and for 328 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: people who are caught up in the system and two 329 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: are either rightly or wrongly supported, they're going to contribute 330 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: to the exporting of coronavirus from the United States to 331 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. There's still the underlying claims 332 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: that can proceed at the district court level, but it 333 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: seems like a long shot to get those claims heard 334 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: and decided before the Trump administration can put this into effect. Yes, yes, 335 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: I think that's right. It will be a long shot 336 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: to have the statutory claims and the constitutional claims adjudicated 337 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: before August fourteens. The legal teams for the plaintiffs is 338 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: currently assessing their options and trying to figure out how 339 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: to proceed next. It's worth noting that nearly two dozen 340 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: states and the District of Columbia weighed in in the 341 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: case in favor of the plaintiff organizations, and so that 342 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: this places their workers, including essential workers, at high risk 343 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: of erroneous supportation, and it would have potentially devastating consequences 344 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: on their economies and their communities. I want to turn 345 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: to the issue of the H one B program. First 346 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: of all, explain what President Trump did with executive order. 347 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: The executive order that was issued earlier this week effectively 348 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: halts the processing of H one B visas for people 349 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: who are outside the United States. It does not have 350 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: effects for those who are already in the United States 351 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: on this visa. But the executive order, in an effort 352 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: prop ordering to protect American workers, says that the program 353 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: is on halts until the end of December, at which 354 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: point the President will reconsider the decision. Now this has 355 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: caused enormous outrage and concern among the tech sector and 356 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: other highly specialized industries. H What, he says go to 357 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: highly specialized technical workers and allow the United States to 358 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: recruit to the top talent around the world in science 359 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: and technology and engineering, and this will unfortunately undermine the 360 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: competitiveness of the United States and the global economy. Can 361 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,719 Speaker 1: this be challenged in court? Many of President Trump's executive 362 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: orders related to immigration have been challenged in the federal courts. 363 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: Your listeners may remember most vividly the challenge of the 364 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: executive orders related to the Muslim ban that we're challenged 365 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: in court starting in January of two thousand and seventeen 366 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: after the President issued them. It is possible that this 367 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: new executive order related to H one b B says 368 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: will be challenged in court, but that litigation has not 369 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: been filed yet. I'm wondering who would have standing to 370 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: challenge it, since it relates to people who haven't come 371 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: here yet. It may be that the business organizations in 372 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 1: the United States that rely on H one B talent 373 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: to thrive and succeed and be competitive in the global 374 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: economy would have standing to challenge the executive order. So 375 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: now let's turn to a decision that came as a 376 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: surprise to many people in the country, especially the Dreamers. 377 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if you have any clients who are 378 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: are Dreamers. Yes, we have represented Dreamers over the years 379 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: in terms of helping them fill out their application to 380 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: receive DOCTA, and then also we've helped other Dreamer and 381 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: process their doctor renewals. And it is such a thrill 382 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: and a relief that the Supreme Court upheld the program 383 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: for now. Do you say, for now? Do you think 384 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: that the Trump administration will be able to do anything, 385 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, to issue another executive order within the time 386 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: before the election. The Trump administration certainly could do so. 387 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: There court to the Supreme Court left open the possibility 388 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: for the administration to provide additional reasons supported by the 389 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: evidentiary record, as to why the recision of DOCCA could 390 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: be properly authorized, but I don't think we're going to 391 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: see the administration do that. I think what we'll see 392 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: from this administration looking to November, if they will use 393 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: the DOCTA decision and other promises and say, give us 394 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: for more years, see what else we can do to 395 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: rate our country US immigrants, and continue to pursue a 396 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: white nationalistic agenda. This has been a question, the question 397 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: of the dreamers, for so many years, and there's never 398 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: been an ability of Congress a Congress to actually pass 399 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: legislation that would solve the question of the dreamers permanently. 400 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: What kind of hope do you hold out that that 401 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: day will ever come. I'm hopeful that in the near 402 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,959 Speaker 1: future we will have comprehensive immigration reform. Our country needs 403 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: comprehensive immigration reform that is humane, that recognizes the enormous 404 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: contributions that immigrants make to our economy and to our communities. 405 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: And we need to recognize that many, many talented immigrants 406 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: make America possible, and that they need protections and safety 407 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: in the United States. So I am hopeful that at 408 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: some point in the near future we will seek comprehensive 409 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: immigration reform. It may not be every aspect of immigration, 410 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: but at least as to the dreamers, it's also time 411 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: for a legislative solution right now. Do you think that 412 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: the immigration movement has lost some steam, you know, compared 413 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: to the days when President Trump was stopping the caravans 414 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: and you know, we saw the horrible pictures of children 415 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: in cages. Does it seem as if because of perhaps 416 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: COVID or the fact that he's turned to other things, 417 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: that the steam has kind of gone out of the movement. 418 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: Not at all from my perspective. The immigrant rights movement 419 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: is robust, and it's partnering with ally causes, including the 420 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter movement, and there is robust organizing, public 421 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: education litigation going on in the courts every day. You know, 422 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: it may not be in the public spotlight as much 423 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: as it was last summer and the summer before, for example, 424 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: when both the cruelty of the administration with regard to 425 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: keeping children in cages within the spotlight, and in the 426 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: summer of two eighteen when family separations hit the spotlight. 427 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: But the movement is robust and doing our best to 428 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: fight every day. Finally, yesterday, President Trump made an appearance 429 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: at his wall part of his wall, and he said 430 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: that illegal immigration is down from this time last year. 431 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: That statistic hold with you, I am not sure. I 432 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: have not seen the data underlying that claim. This administration 433 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: has been and reluctant to share data publicly, and in fact, 434 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: more than a million immigration records have been deleted by 435 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: a federal agency known as the Executive Office of Immigration Review. 436 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: All that said, it is true that immigration patterns have 437 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: dramatically changed since last summer. Most recently, the administration has 438 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: illegally closed the southern border and is in play grant 439 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: violation of its obligations under both federal and international law 440 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: with regard to the processing of asylum seekers. The United 441 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: States is turning asylum seekers, including children unaccompanied by their parents, 442 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: away from the southern border on a daily basis and 443 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: subjecting them to illegal expulsions and deportations.
