As we discussed last night, a federal judge is considering whether to refer a criminal contempt case against government officials involved in sending Venezuelan migrants to CECOT prison to DOJ. But would it matter if he did that? This is after all Trump‘s DOJ, led by Pam Bondi. ACLU lawyer, Lee Gelernt, who is litigating the case, has the answer, and you may find it to be surprisingly satisfying.
Join us as we discuss why the contempt proceedings have come roaring back to life after seven months on hold, what the stakes are, and arm you with the information you need to have a conversation over the holiday with someone who asks you why people who aren’t American citizens deserve to have constitutional rights. This was a satisfying and important conversation with the kind of firsthand information about a case that you can only get from the person who’s running it. Many thanks to Lee Gelernt for making time in his busy schedule to join us.
We’re in this together,
Joyce
