This episode begins with Mary and Andrew digesting the 2-1 decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals halting the Trump administration's ability to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals accused of being members of Tren de Aragua. Andrew calls the administration's recent arguments “outlandish” before moving to the questionable legality of the U.S. military's deadly boat strike last week – an unprecedented action which left eleven dead. Next, they move to Monday's Supreme Court decision undoing limits set by a lower court on how ICE conducts immigration raids. Plus, a federal judge issues a win for Harvard University on the topic of frozen and terminated funds.

Why Has Ellen Greenberg's Case Been Buried for 14 Years? Corruption or Cover-Up? For 14 years, Ellen Greenberg's death has sat in legal limbo. After being ruled a suicide despite 20 stab wounds, her case has been passed from agency to agency, each refusing to take responsibility. The District Attorney recused himself, the Attorney General's office punted it back, and county prosecutors declined to act. The result: no arrests, no suspect, and no justice. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins the discussion to unravel how the system has failed Ellen Greenberg. Why did the medical examiner reverse an initial homicide ruling after a private meeting with police? Why have officials fought against reopening the case despite mounting evidence? And is this incompetence — or something more deliberate? The Greenberg family has fought tirelessly for answers, but every attempt to force accountability has been stalled or buried. We explore the political dimensions of the case, including questions about then–Attorney General Josh Shapiro, now Governor of Pennsylvania, and whether connections or corruption played a role in shutting down the investigation. This is more than a case about one woman's death. It's about what happens when a justice system chooses to protect itself instead of the people it serves.

Tonight on NJ Spotlight News, the state Attorney General is declaring a victory for New Jersey's gun laws. A federal appeals court is upholding almost the entirety of the state's “sensitive places” law, which limits the public areas someone can carry a concealed firearm. Plus, New Jersey takes its own stance on access to the COVID vaccine. We'll talk to the state's Acting Health Commissioner about what you need to know if you're looking to get the shot. Also, an alarming new report on child poverty in New Jersey, we look at what advocates are trying to do to help the state's most vulnerable residents. And, the Delbarton prep school sex abuse trial begins, we talk with one reporter inside the courtroom.
A disclaimer to Brandon Rafi and his associates as well as his attorneys , including Andrew Gould, this podcast is for fun and not to be taken literal. However, everything that comes out of the podcast is based on conversations, events, and communications with others that we simply share on this podcast. The FBI part is true , don't get it twisted. In this episode we share that Raees Mohamed and Geoff Sturr will have a Rule 16(d) Conference with Judge Pineda on September 24, 2025. We reason that after all this time, Judge Pineda will simply advise Raees to give us dates for a deposition. We remind Brandon again that the FBI is watching and they visited my home several months ago. We are not telling him this to extort him for money. But we would like him to sit down for a deposition. It's the least he can do for making us wait 18 months to get us any type of discovery. We recount Andrew Gould taking a loss in the Republican Primary for Attorney General. Good Move! We also recount his loss he took in the Appeal. Speaking of Appeal, Jane Doe hired Tiffany & Bosco to file her response in the Order of Protection appeal. We now wait 6-9 months for the ruling. Stay tuned.

Courage is Contagious: Voices Uniting Against Human Trafficking Synopsis: Teresa Velardi sits down with author Andi Buerger and contributing authors Lisa Babbage, Chris Meek, and Eric Caron to discuss the powerful new book, Voices Against Trafficking: Courage is Contagious – Uniting Voices and Nations in the War Against Human Slavery. At a time when true heroes can seem scarce, Voices Against Trafficking brings together extraordinary accounts from ordinary people who refused to look away in the face of injustice. These first-hand narratives spotlight individuals who saw something, said something, and took action—changing the course of lives forever. The stories remind us that the courage of a single person can create ripples of hope that reach across communities and even nations. Andi Buerger, a survivor of brutal child sex trafficking, shares her journey from victim to internationally recognized advocate who has rescued hundreds of at-risk teens through her nonprofit work. Lisa Babbage brings her expertise as an educator, nonprofit leader, and survivor of abuse, working to restore dignity to women and children. Chris Meek, co-founder of SoldierStrong, combines lessons on leadership, resilience, and humanitarian service from decades of working with U.S. veterans and global causes. Eric Caron, a decorated former U.S. Special Agent, offers a law enforcement and national security perspective on dismantling trafficking networks and rescuing victims. Together, they discuss the harsh realities of human trafficking, the systemic challenges in combating it, and the urgent need to unite voices from all walks of life in this fight. This compelling conversation will challenge listeners to confront the uncomfortable truth about modern-day slavery—and inspire them to believe that courage truly is contagious. Guests Andi Burger: Andi Buerger, JD is an international speaker, author, and advocate for victims of human trafficking & exploitation.

Andi later founded Voices Against Trafficking(VAT) to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves — the voiceless victims of human trafficking and exploitation. VAT advocates for the protection of every human's rights regardless of race, gender, culture, or socio-economic status. Voices Against Trafficking-The Strength of Many Voices Speaking As One, gives a portion of proceeds from each sale to survivors of child abuse and trafficking, as does Andi's first book, A Fragile Thread of Hope - One Survivor's Quest to Rescue. Andi launched Voices Of Courage magazine in 2023. It is distributed internationally and accepted into the U.S. Library of Congress.

As Pennsylvania sees a rapid rise in data centers — the question of how to meet their massive energy and cooling needs continues to rack the brains of legislators. Nuclear power remains their major focus; another answer could be right under their feet. The effort for Democrats to regain a majority in Congress may begin in northeastern Pennsylvania. The Mayor of Scranton is looking to unseat an incumbent Republican; at the same time, she's running to regain her current post. Over the Labor Day weekend, a state lawmaker completed a more than 100 mile walk from Philadelphia to Harrisburg.

A 21-year-old Reading woman is facing homicide charges after the discovery of her boyfriend's decomposed body in her bedroom.

After a Labor Day weekend that saw a judge halt the Trump administration's attempt to deport dozens of Guatemalan children already loaded onto airplanes, Andrew and Mary had planned to start their conversation there. But just this morning, Judge Charles Breyer ruled the administration cannot deploy U.S. military to carry out law enforcement operations, as this violates the Posse Comitatus Act. Andrew and Mary provide historical context for the act and walk us through the rationale of this latest ruling. Then, they take a beat on moves to oust two more Trump appointed U.S. Attorneys in California and Nevada who have yet to be congressionally approved. And last up, they review several big cases on tariffs, Lisa Cook, and cuts to foreign aid.Further reading: Here is Judge Thomas T.

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse are preparing to appear alongside members of Congress in a press conference at the U.S. Capitol, organized by Representatives Ro Khanna (D‑CA) and Thomas Massie (R‑KY). This event marks the first time in over a decade some survivors will speak publicly, and it is a central moment in a bipartisan push demanding the Justice Department release more comprehensive Epstein-related files. Notably, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑GA), a vocal Trump ally, is expected to attend and has thrown her support behind the discharge petition aimed at compelling full disclosure of these documentsAt the news conference, Khanna and Massie—and survivors—will spotlight how many victims were sidelined when Epstein's plea deal was struck. They're launching the “Epstein Files Transparency Act” and have introduced a discharge petition to force a House vote that, if successful, would require the Attorney General to publicly release all unclassified records, including those held by the DOJ, FBI, and U.S. attorneys' offices.

House GOP Probe House Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, launched an investigation into alleged manipulation of Washington, D.C. crime data. Allegations claim Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officials intentionally downgraded charges to make crime statistics appear lower. A whistleblower with knowledge of MPD operations confirmed the alleged manipulation. One commander, Michael Pulliam, was suspended over the incident, but the issue may span all seven patrol districts. Justice Department & Federal Probe The investigation follows the Justice Department announcing its own federal probe into D.C. crime statistics. Discrepancy: official reports say crime is at a 30-year low, but residents and whistleblowers say otherwise. Donald Trump’s Position Trump claims FBI crime stats are “fake” and is framing D.C. as a test case for federal intervention in U.S. cities. He threatened to send troops to Baltimore, raising concerns among local officials. Trump portrays himself as confronting “business as usual” in crime reporting and law enforcement. Cashless Bail Executive Order Trump signed an executive order to end cashless bail, starting in Washington, D.C. The order: Directs federal law enforcement to prosecute arrestees federally where possible. Seeks to prevent pretrial release without bail. Threatens to withhold or revoke federal funding from jurisdictions with cashless bail policies. Attorney General must identify such jurisdictions within 30 days. Political Reactions Democrats: Angry at Trump’s intervention. Argue cashless bail gives judges discretion to detain or release based on risk, not wealth. Say Trump is using the issue as a distraction from other policy failures (e.g., prices, economy). Trump Allies & Conservatives: Portray cashless bail as a failed liberal policy fueling crime. Cite cities like Chicago as examples of negative consequences. Miami’s mayor emphasized public safety as citizens’ top concern, criticizing revolving-door justice.

In an excerpt from this week's Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the agreement between the D.C. government and the Trump administration, facilitated by a federal judge, preserving the local government's authority over its police force. The resolution stemmed from the D.C. Attorney General's lawsuit challenging Trump's takeover of the District's police and his deployment of the National Guard. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss: – A federal appellate court's decision allowing the Trump administration to continue to withhold billions of dollars in foreign aid; and – The voter fraud charges brought against a group of Latino Democratic political leaders in Texas for so-called “ballot harvesting.” CAFE Insiders click HERE to listen to the full analysis.
