About this episode

The episode critiques DOJ independence issues and discusses a deadly ICE shooting while analyzing election integrity concerns.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to criticize Blanche for undermining DOJ independence, acting as Trump’s personal lawyer, and purging career officials who worked on Trump or J6 cases. Then, the #Sisters analyze the deadly ICE shooting of longtime Houston resident Lorenzo Salgado Arajo, contrasting official claims with video and witness evidence, and discuss use-of-force violations and due process failures. They also expose the administration’s efforts to intimidate election officials, send monitors, issue criminal warnings, and fire members of the Election Assistance Commission to undermine trust in the midterms.
