Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to explain the FACE Act, how it’s been used in the past, its politicization by Trump’s DOJ in recent prosecutions, and the erosion of protections granted to reproductive health clinics. Then, the #Sisters discuss the recent antitrust verdict against Ticketmaster and Live Nation, their monopoly on the live entertainment industry, the origins of the case, the actions being taken by the DOJ and various states, and what it all means for ticket prices. They also expose the sizeable budget allocation for immigration enforcement, examine the challenges of prosecuting wayward ICE agents, and consider what the future might hold.
