On this week's episode, Easha and Charlie discuss a recent challenge by immigration groups to the Trump administration's new attempt to bar asylum claims by refugees who entered the United States without crossing a border checkpoint. Turns out that . . . the Trump administration should lose, and it did. But Easha offers some great--and new to Charlie--background on immigration law, and the two of them discuss why this case is, indeed, as easy as it looks.

Charlie mentions an article by Sarah Stillman for the New Yorker, which you can find here, and you can read the district court's decision against the administration here. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
