Inalienable: Alien Enemies, the Great Writ, and Trump's Constitutional Crisis

About this episode
In this episode, I discuss the history of the controversial wartime power that Trump has invoked to justify his mass deportations and the importance of the inalienable rights of due process and habeas corpus, granted by the constitution to all persons, that he is seeking to strip away. UPDATE: a few weeks after the production of this episode, the Supreme Court further contributed to Trump's centralization of power by limiting nationwide injunctions. Now if the courts determine that any executive action is unlawful or unconstitutional in one case, it is powerless to prevent the President from doing the same thing again and again. I encourage you to visit 5calls.org and find their page to help you demand that this administration Bring Abrego Garcia Home and Stop Trump’s Plan to Traffic Civilians to a Foreign Gulag, as well as their pages to Protest the Unlawful Deportation of Venezuelan Immigrants to El Salvador and demand that your governor Deny Trump’s Police State Tactics for Deportations. But more than this, get out to a protest in your area if you can. On June 14th, massive No Kings protests are being planned all over the country to coincide with Trump’s birthday celebration.
