What you are about to hear is one of my favorite clips from one of my favorite interviews. It provides a glimpse into events that rapidly unfolded during the evening of Saturday, January 28, 2017, when an Executive Order signed by the new President resulted in the detention of hundreds of travelers who were peacefully and legally entering the United States from several Muslim-majority countries. 

My guest on the podcast, Boston lawyer Susan Finegan, was one of the attorneys who quickly sprang into action as word came through of the Muslim travel ban and the resulting detentions that were taking place at Logan International Airport. The extraordinary events of that Saturday night and the early hours of Sunday morning signified the beginning of four years of cruelty and chaos ushered in by an Administration that too often demonstrated little regard for the Rule of Law. I offer it as a small reminder of what is at stake at this important moment of our nation’s history. 

As usual, you can find the full episode of my interview of Sue Finegan on the Higher Callings website and other podcast platforms.
