Deportations, the administration’s preferred tactic du jour, appear to many as extreme, inadvisable, and often cruel. Are they unconstitutional? What framework can we use to determine the rights of citizens versus aliens, even if legal, even if permanent resident? What kind of process is “due” for the various groups? Where can we locate the origins in our history, and how do they interact with some of the great themes of the Constitution, including the guarantees of the Bill of Rights, and the rights of “persons” as expressed in the 14th Amendment? The case of Mahmoud Khalil offers a set of facts that shed light on these questions, as do other deportations; we start with this one.

Early this month, Harvard Law School students participated in a “Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon” workshop. Students were asked to "gather data to edit the Wikipedia pages of Big Law firms to reflect cases they have recently argued," according to The Washington Free Beacon.
What actually happened?
Several students singled out and warped the Wikipedia pages of big law firms who previously that they would cut back recruitment from universities that did not curb the spread of anti-Semitism on-campus following the Oct. 7 Hama terror attacks.
What are we getting at?
For decades, America’s elite law schools have degraded their standards in the pursuit of social justice and have become wholly dependent on foreign money.
Now, it’s finally catching up to them, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

The Gist - Four More Years?
Can Trump run for a third term? Someone who has contemplated that is Bruce Peabody author of the law review titled The Twice and Future President Revisited: Of Three-Term Presidents and Constitutional End Runs who joins us to discuss. Plus, Mike questions the political upside of detaining an innocent man, especially when Trump’s allies haven’t mustered a coherent narrative to justify it. And in the Spiel: The SAVE Act is stirring fears that it could disenfranchise tens of millions of married women—but Mike breaks down why, while flawed, the bill is unlikely to actually change voting access.

Consider This from NPR - Did DOGE take sensitive labor data?
President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency team, or DOGE, appears to be grabbing sensitive data from all over the government.
A whistleblower has come forward by filing an official disclosure to Congress about concerning activity on the systems at one independent federal agency, the National Labor Relations Board.
Elon Musk says DOGE is searching for savings throughout the government. But is the data being accessed valuable?

1A - Tax Day: Checking In On The IRS
Frustration with the Internal Revenue Service is nothing new. A Pew Research survey found it's the least popular federal agency among Americans.
But that should come as no surprise. After all, the IRS is responsible for collecting what we owe the government.
During fiscal year 2024, the IRS collected more than $5 trillion in tax revenue.
But this year, Tax Day arrives amid upheaval at the agency. Just last week, the head of the IRS resigned – the third to do so since President Trump's inauguration. And his administration announced plans to lay off up to a quarter of the agency's workforce.
We discuss the latest at the IRS and the impact changes at the agency could have for the 2025 tax season.
