Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Trump’s threat to end Iran’s civilization, what it takes for the country to officially declare war, the Geneva Convention, and the potential consequences for violating the laws of war. Then, the #Sisters explain the Presidential Records Act and why it’s so important for preserving an accurate history of events and leaving behind a trove of reference materials for legal challenges to past policy. They also explore the value of due process in asylum claims and expose the troubling purge of immigration judges by the Trump administration.
