  • What's Happening to Kilmar Abrego Garcia Could Happen to Any of Us
    Editor's note: This episode was recorded on April 16, 2025.The Trump administration’s lawlessness is hard to exaggerate—and especially so in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the White House admitted was mistakenly deported to a detention center in El Salvador. And even though the Supreme Court ordered the administration to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return to the United States, Trump and his cronies are doubling down.The White House is completely disregarding due process—and it’s a threat to all of us.This week, Jess and Imani get into Abrego Garcia’s nightmarish case, El Salvador and the U.S. government volleying blame on each other to avoid his rightful return, and President Donald Trump’s apparent desire to “deport” American citizens to a foreign detention center.Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!

  • Trump’s Attacks on Law Firms, Lawyers, and the Law
    President Donald Trump famously has a… strained relationship with the law, to say the least. His first term saw numerous legal challenges to attempted policies—not to mention his two impeachments. Now, barely two months into his second term, Trump is already facing more than 100 lawsuits over his attacks on birthright citizenship, gutting of the federal workforce, and more. In this episode, Jess and Imani dive into the Trump administration’s attacks on the law, from targeting law firms to straight up ignoring court orders. And psst—Washington, D.C. listeners, don’t miss seeing Jess and Imani live with Feminist Buzzills’ Lizz Winstead and Moji Alawode-El!
