During a hearing in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation case, the presiding judge, Paula Xinis, said that the often contradictory statements made by DOJ lawyers was like "nailing Jello to the wall". The judge also said, "It's chaos, and it's chaos that can be avoided". The DOJ was trying to convince the judge to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Abrego Garcia for his unlawful and unconstitutional deportation. Not only did the judge refuse to dismiss the case, but she ordered DOJ lawyers to have Depart...

In our nation's history, we fought for our independence, and we won. We fought to save the union, and we won. With a wannabe king in the White House, these are perilous times for American democracy. But there are ways we can fight for our independence from an aspiring dictator. But today's fight for our republic need not involve violence or armed conflict. Each one of us has the tools to engage in today's fight for our independence. This podcast contains a clip from Glenn's recent interview with...

If there is one universal truth in the criminal justice system - it's that people would rather be out of prison than in prison. Defendants generally ask judges to release them, not detain them. However, given the abuse and untrustworthiness of Trump's Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security, Abrego Garcia and his lawyers have asked a federal judge to continue to detain rather than release Abrego Garcia in his criminal case in Tennessee. Glenn discusses why he made and the judge...

Donald Trump issued several executive orders punishing law firms who represented clients or causes he didn't like. Four of the law firms sued him, arguing his executive orders were unconstitutional. Given a new court ruling in favor of the fourth law firm, it's a clean sweep - Trump and his DOJ have now lost all four cases. But, it's something of a surprise, with just one day left to appeal his first loss, Trump's DOJ has filed an appeal to one of those cases. If you're interested in supporting ...

The Trump administration has been consistently violating the due process rights of immigrants by trying to deport them before they can assert their constitutional rights to notice and opportunity to be heard. To stop this abusive practice, the federal court judges in Maryland instituted a two-day pause rule before they could be deported. This happens if someone files a petition with the court when they are detained. Trump then had his Department of Justice attorneys file a lawsuit against every ...

Here we go again: a federal appeals court has ordered the Trump administration to return to the US another man they wrongfully deported to El Salvador. Just like the Abrego Garcia case, the Trump administration deported a man named Jordin Melgar-Salmaron in violation of both a court order and the man's constitutional rights. But this new case has a bit of a due process twist. Glenn explains why this case is so important. If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can becom...

In an embarrassing loss for Donald Trump and Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, a federal magistrate judge rejected the DOJ's attempts to detain Abrego Garcia pending trial in his criminal case in Tennessee. Glenn discusses the scathing nature of Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes' 51-page order denying the DOJ's motion to jail Garcia pending trial. The judge chastises the DOJ's lawyers for offering unreliable double and triple hearsay evidence, and points out that some of the "evidence" the DOJ of...

Donald Trump very likely is setting the record for court losses by a presidential administration. Moreover, Attorney General Pam Bondi seems unable to litigate her way out of a paper bag.

Glenn also discusses how Bondi continues to send DOJ lawyers into court to argue in support of lawless and unconstitutional acts and exe...

As a result of a new ruling by a California appeals court, the people's First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly suffered a setback. The rule of law suffered a setback. Justice suffered a setback. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals left a stay in place, blocking the trial court's order that Trump must turn control of the California National Guard back to Governor Gavin Newsom. Fortunately, the ruling is a temporary/interim ruling and the case is far from over. Glenn discusses some of the...

A week ago, E. Jean Carroll beat Trump in his appeal of the $5 million jury award in one of her defamation cases. Now, Ms. Carroll has won another victory in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in her $83.3 million defamation case against Trump. Specifically, the court rejected AG Bondi and the DOJ's attempt to get Trump out of the case and insert the DOJ into the case as the defendant. Glenn discusses the importance of this court loss for Trump/Bondi/&the DOJ. One wonders if Trump is second-gu...

The American Bar Association has sued Donald Trump for his unconstitutional executive orders punishing law firms. Given that multiple judges have already ruled that such executive orders are unconstitutional (rulings that the Trump administration didn't appeal), it seems like the ABA's suit should be a lay-down winner on the merits. The challenge for the ABA may be getting to the merits, as they will first have to prove they have standing to bring the suit. If you're interested in supporting our...

Federal judges continue to call out Trump's illegal and unconstitutional conduct in terms that are uncharacteristically scathing, direct and unflinching. Judge William Young, appointed to the federal bench 40 years ago by President Ronald Reagan, ruled that Trump's executive orders discriminating against minorities and the LGBTQ+ community are "illegal" and "void." Judge Young ordered the National Institutes of Health to immediately restore the research funds Trump had terminated via his unlawfu...

Attorney General Pam Bondi and her Department of Justice lawyers said repeatedly that it was impossible to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to the United States. Then, lo and behold, they arranged for Abrego Garcia's return to the US and waived around a two-count criminal indictment claiming that he's been involved in a criminal conspiracy from 2016 through 2025. In other words, if it's true, the first Trump DOJ let Garcia run a dangerous criminal conspiracy inside the United States with impuni...

The Trump administration has been peddling to the American people that its deportation effort would focus on immigrants who had been convicted of crimes. However, new reporting suggests that is not the case. The administration is mindlessly and callously sweeping up undocumented men, women, and children. Given that statistics show undocumented workers pay an estimate $100 billion dollars in taxes each year, this aimless deportation operation will absolutely 1. hurt human beings and families, 2. ...

Donald Trump seems to be building a kind of insurrection Ponzi scheme. He has his ICE agents create chaos by engaging in callous, mindless, counter-productive immigration sweeps, then Trump says he must call up and federalize the California National Guard to quell the chaos HE CREATED! However, it appears that Trump violated federal law, which expressly requires that such "orders . . shall be issued through the governors of the states" which Trump failed to do. Accordingly, the Attorney General ...

So it turns out that Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice lawyers were lying all along when they claimed it's impossible to return to the United States someone they wrongfully deported, because that person was in a sovereign nation and the US had no power or authority to facilitate the person's return. For the first time, the Trump administration HAS facilitated the return of a Guatemalan migrant that they had wrongfully deported to Mexico. A federal judge in M...

OK, so no Democrat would ever accuse Donald Trump of being a strategic thinker. But in a colossally stupid move, he blasted the very person, Leonard Leo, and the very organization, the Federalist Society, that helped deliver to him Supreme Court justices who gave him his a get-out-of-jail-free card in the form of presidential immunity. But now, because judges he appointed are regularly ruling against him, Trump has to blame SOMEONE for the performance of the judges HE appointed. Because, as we a...
