Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to argue against deporting Mahmoud Khalil, explain habeas corpus and whether the government had the right to detain him, and outline his 1st Amendment rights as a green card holder.  Then, the #Sisters tear into Trump’s executive order targeting law firm Perkins Coie, detail how their rights to association and speech are being violated, and celebrate the lawyers who have stepped up to defend them.  They also discuss the conversion therapy case going to the Supreme Court and what it means for LGBTQ rights at a time when Trump is attempting to subvert our democracy.

Joyce’s new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, is now available for pre order.

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Trump’s attacks on the 1st Amendment through his invalidation of the historic press corps, how he’s taken control over journalistic access to the White House, and his bizarre edicts attempting to enshrine his policy preferences into the public conversation.  Then, the #Sisters break down his attack on government lawyers, firing off on his assault on Jack Smith’s team and the other lawyers who stood against his authoritarian impulses.  They also examine the excesses of DOGE and if those unjustly targeted have any recourse.
