Lawfare Daily: The Trials of the Trump Administration, September 11
Summary
Lawfare editors analyze the first-ever Alien Terrorist Removal Court case, where a woman was deported to Afghanistan after conceding ISIS ties. The panel also discusses the resignation of prosecutor Joe DeGeneva from the "grand conspiracy" case due to a lack of evidence and the Supreme Court’s refusal to stay an injunction blocking a new mail-in ballot rule. Additionally, they cover a First Amendment ruling on Stars and Stripes firings, a permanent injunction protecting West Point academic freedom, and ongoing legal battles over the SAVE Act’s voter database.
