Pod Save America - A Lawless Trump and Aimless Dems

The Trump administration just took things to a chilling new level — deporting people to foreign prisons without due process. They’re using the Alien Enemies Act — a law last invoked to justify the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII — to deport 137 Venezuelans to El Salvador, where they’re now being held in a notorious, crowded mega-prison where visitation and recreation are forbidden. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer’s decision to back the GOP’s spending bill has sparked fierce backlash from Democrats across the board. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy break down the administration’s defiance of the courts and debate both sides of the shutdown fight. Then, Dan talks to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about his break with Schumer and how Democrats can unite against the Trump administration.

Consider This from NPR - Is Trump defying the courts?

"Oopsie, too late. "That post on X from the President of El Salvador got retweeted by Secretary of State Marco Rubio over the weekend with a laugh-crying emoji over a headline about a judge's ruling.

The judge ordered the Trump Administration not to deport Venezuelans to El Salvador.

That came after a Brown University physician in the United States on an H1-B visa from Lebanon was sent back. Even though a federal judge issued an order that she appear at an in-person hearing on Monday.

In a court filing today, lawyers for the government said US Customs and Border Patrol officers said they didn't learn of the order until after the doctor was sent back.

The administration insists it is not defying court orders. Trump hasn't yet openly and explicitly defied the courts. Can he undermine them just by flirting with defiance?

Columbia grad student Layla S., whom you may know from the highly informative Twitter account @itslaylas, joins Bad Faith to talk about the government kidnapping of her friend and Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, and ICE's deportation threats against two other pro-Palestine student protesters: Ranjani Srinivasan, who self-deported, and Leqaa Kordia, who was detained last week. Layla puts these events in the context of the broader crackdown on college protests under the Biden administration, which laid the foundation for the current abrogation of First Amendment rights for critics of Israel.
