About this episode

The episode discusses immigration issues, Trump's legal controversies, and the implications of his Executive Order on mail-in voting.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the State Department’s war on immigrants, the revocation of B1 and B2 visas, how it affects asylum seekers, and the legal basis for extradition after being targeted by ICE. Then, the #Sisters review the legal basis for Trump’s proposed inscription of his name on the Kennedy Center, the issues it raises, and the political motivations involved. They also explain the legal back-and-forth over Trump’s Executive Order 14399 on mail-in voting, why a judge blocked it, where it sits on the SCOTUS shadow docket, and what it might mean for the midterm elections.
