Summary
What’s the correct legal path—and the proper venue—for someone facing deportation to challenge their removal in court?
On this week’s Insider episode, Joyce Vance is joined by former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan Barb McQuade and Lawfare editor-in-chief Ben Wittes, while Preet is out. In an excerpt from the show, they break down the Supreme Court order vacating a lower court decision that froze the Trump administration’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador.
In the full episode, Joyce, Barb, and Ben discuss:
– The legal arguments that might support President Donald Trump’s claim that he could serve a third term as president; and
– Other legal challenges stemming from the Trump administration’s deportations, including one case where officials admit they erroneously deported a Maryland man.
