Podcasts about Federal court

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 16, 2026. In today’s episode, we dig into a major court ruling that could reshape how immigration law is enforced in the United States. A federal appeals court has cleared the way for the government to deport illegal migrants to “safe third countries” when their home nations refuse to take them back. We talk about why that matters, how it changes the enforcement landscape, and why some lower court judges keep issuing nationwide injunctions that higher courts—including the Supreme Court of the United States—continue to knock down. One judge in particular, Brian Murphy, seems to be at the center of the latest legal clashes. We also walk through the Top Three Things You Need to Know Before Tomorrow, including news that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, a troubling police shooting in Dallas tied to the security chief for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, and another ruling from Judge Murphy—this time blocking vaccine policy changes connected to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. From there, we turn overseas. Tensions are rising around the world’s most important energy chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz. We explain why the United States is being asked to protect the shipping lanes again and why some allies aren’t exactly rushing to help—even though a huge portion of the world’s oil flows through that narrow stretch of water. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson join us for a lighter—but meaningful—conversation about whether parents should actually teach their kids how to give compliments. It turns out a simple act of kindness might be something many families have forgotten to pass down. And in our Digging Deep segment, we take a closer look at reports that federal officials are reviewing communications involving commentator Tucker Carlson under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. We sort through what’s actually known, what’s speculation, and why evidence still matters before rumors take on a life of their own. All that—plus the bright spot of the day and a remarkable reunion story you won’t believe—on today’s episode of American Ground Radio.

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into the main stage of American politics, but here we are on March 15, 2026, and the trials involving Donald Trump are heating up like a pressure cooker about to blow. Picture this: I'm sipping my morning coffee in my Washington, D.C. apartment, scrolling through updates on the federal election interference case in U.S. District Court under Judge Tanya Chutkan. Just last week, Trump's lawyers, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, doubled down on their wild push for an April 2026 trial date, arguing that the 11.5 million pages of discovery from Special Counsel Jack Smith's team—stacked up, they say, taller than eight Washington Monuments—demand at least two and a half years to review. According to Politico reports from the filings, they claim it's only fair since prosecutors had that long to build the case against Trump for his alleged conspiracies to subvert the 2020 election results, from fake electors to pressuring state officials like in Georgia.But hold on—prosecutors aren't buying it. Molly Gaston from Smith's office fired back in a Courthouse News Service brief, calling the defense's math ridiculous. She pointed out that 65% of those documents were already public or duplicates, including stuff from the National Archives, Trump's own Truth Social posts, and the House January 6 Select Committee transcripts. They front-loaded the key evidence, she said, with another 615,000 pages dropped over the weekend, 20% from Trump's own entities. No way this justifies kicking the trial into the next presidential term, they argue, especially since Trump knows most of this from the Jan. 6 hearings. Judge Chutkan, the no-nonsense Obama appointee, has warned Trump against inflammatory Truth Social rants that could taint the jury pool in D.C., hinting she'll speed things up if he keeps it up.Meanwhile, across the circuits, Trump's legal calendar is a nightmare. JustSecurity's master calendar shows deadlines piling up: In the Georgia RICO case, Fulton County DA Fani Willis is battling appeals over disqualifying her, with oral arguments wrapping last December before the Georgia Court of Appeals. Trump's team appealed Judge Scott McAfee's ruling allowing Willis to stay on, but whispers say it's dragging. Up in New York, the hush money case with DA Alvin Bragg—tied to Stormy Daniels payments—faced delays, but a federal appeals court shot down Trump's second removal bid to SDNY Judge Alvin Hellerstein. And don't get me started on the civil fronts: E. Jean Carroll's defamation suits, where juries already hit Trump with nearly $90 million in verdicts, now ping-ponging through the Second Circuit.Over in Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon's May 2024 classified docs trial got tossed on appeal, but Smith's team is pushing back in the Eleventh Circuit. Even the Supreme Court docket for 2026, as ABC News outlines, teases executive power clashes that could ripple into Trump's orbit, like limits on presidential immunity post his earlier motions. YouTube legal recaps from channels like those covering his "three court losses in three days" back in October 2024 feel like ancient history now, but they set the tone—Trump's delay tactics aiming for a potential 2025 White House return to pardon or dismiss federal charges, though state cases like Georgia and New York are bulletproof.It's exhausting, listeners, watching this unfold from my couch, wondering if justice will outpace politics. The stakes? The soul of our elections.

Why are we finding Roundup in children? Glyphosate exposure in children can have devastating health consequences. In this video, learn about the toxic chemicals in American food, glyphosate health effects, and practical ways to reduce glyphosate exposure for you and your family. TEST LINK: https://detoxproject.org/ Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: Roundup in children0:38 Glyphosate controversy 3:26 Roundup, glyphosate, and other chemicals 4:23 The EPA, Monsanto, GMO, and glyphosate controversy6:50 Glyphosate health effects8:13 Roundup health risks9:18 How to avoid glyphosate exposure and pesticide residues in foodThe World Health Organization (WHO) says that glyphosate causes cancer, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says it's safe. What's the truth?Roundup has been used in farming to kill weeds since 1974. Genetically modified crops were introduced in 1994 and were able to withstand being sprayed with glyphosate. This drastically increased glyphosate exposure and chemicals in American food. Glyphosate is also sprayed on wheat products as a drying agent right before harvesting. The WHO and the EPA have looked at the same data on glyphosate, but have come to startlingly different conclusions. In 2022, a federal court examined the EPA's safety determination on glyphosate and determined it was not supported by substantial evidence. The EPA did not consider the animal studies that showed the connection between glyphosate and cancer, and the court deemed that this was a disregard of tumor results. Cancer is not the only health risk associated with glyphosate exposure. For years, it was argued that because glyphosate kills plants through the shikimate pathway, it is safe for humans since we do not have this pathway. However, our gut bacteria do have this pathway! Non-Hodgkin lymphoma rose by 90% between 1950 and 1999. Today, 80,000 Americans are diagnosed every year. Bayer, the company that bought Monsanto, has paid out over 11 billion dollars in Roundup cancer settlements. In 2023, Bayer removed glyphosate from at-home Roundup, replacing it with diquat dibromide, fluazifop-p-butyl, triclopyr, and imazapic. This new formulation is 200 times more toxic than glyphosate. To reduce glyphosate exposure and minimize the consumption of toxic chemicals in food, do the following:1. Opt for organic when possible 2. Replace cereals with a protein breakfast3. Support gut health with fermented foods4. Test urine for glyphosate levelsDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

It’s been called the “Case of the Century”, and it could change supermarket pricing forever. The ACCC is taking Coles to the Federal Court, alleging it engaged in a planned campaign to mislead customers over price discounts. Coles is denying allegations, saying the prices were a result of global inflation.

Sign up to our finance newsletter here. For two years, a pack of Strepsils cost $5.50 at Coles. Then suddenly, it was $7. Then just as suddenly, it was on sale for $6 with a big "Down Down" discount tag. The ACCC examined that sequence of events and is now alleging that Coles is not offering discounts, but rather engaging in deceptive conduct in relation to a group of at least 245 items. Yesterday, the consumer watchdog began its case against Coles in Australia’s Federal Court, and on today’s pod, we're going to take a closer look at the hearing that could reshape supermarket pricing in Australia.

President Trump has issued more executive orders in the first year of his second term than he did in all four years of his first. These orders — which have directed government action on issues ranging from immigration to tariffs to the funding of federal agencies — have been met with hundreds of lawsuits filed in federal court.As a result, our federal court system is shaping U.S. public policy more than at any time in recent history, and federal judges are making decisions on many of the most pressing policy issues facing society today.So, what does this new legal landscape mean for American politics, and what does it mean for America's judicial branch?To help make sense of this change (and to put it in historical context), Dan Richards spoke with Judge William Smith, former Chief Judge for the U.S. District Court of Rhode Island. Judge Smith was appointed by George W. Bush in 2002 and retired in 2025; he is also a Senior Fellow in International and Public Affairs at the Watson School, where he currently leads a study group on the role of the courts in U.S. public policy.Transcript coming soon to our website.

There are several federal court cases involving immigration enforcement activity in front of a judge this week. A federal judge in Minneapolis is ordering the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear personally in his courtroom on Friday. Judge Patrick Schiltz said ICE has failed to comply with dozens of court orders. And he wants the agency's acting director, Todd Lyons, to answer for why he shouldn't be held in contempt.Over the weekend, the same judge had harsh words for the way the U.S. Justice Department is handling its case against a group of protesters who disrupted a St. Paul church service to protest ICE. MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with MPR Reporter Matt Sepic to sort through the various legal filings.Additionally, judges are considering temporary restraining orders in two separate federal cases dealing with the ongoing massive immigration operation in Minnesota. MPR reporters Peter Cox and Jon Collins give the latest on those cases.

Recent federal prosecutions have renewed attention on the administration and future of the federal death penalty. This panel brings together experienced capital litigators to examine the evolving legal, institutional, and practical landscape facing federal practitioners.Panelists will address issues including the use of commutations and clemency, charging and authorization protocols in capital cases, litigation strategies unique to federal death-eligible prosecutions, and the interaction between federal and state capital regimes. The discussion will situate current high-profile cases within broader doctrinal and policy trends, assessing how differing approaches across recent administrations have shaped prosecutorial discretion, defense strategy, and judicial oversight in capital litigation.The panel will also provide forward-looking perspectives on where federal death penalty practice may be headed, including implications for future administrations and for capital litigation nationwide.Featuring:Prof. David I.

An already tense and uncertain time for people in the Twin Cities and across Minnesota was destabilized further over the weekend with the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent in Minneapolis.There were vigils across the region and beyond in the wake of the shooting. Hearings are scheduled for Monday on at least two federal court cases related to the shooting or the ongoing federal operation.In other stories we are following, The Minnesota House will gain two new members this week, as special elections are held for seats in the eastern metro area tomorrow. Voters in St. Paul and parts of Woodbury and Maplewood will vote for two new legislators during special elections.

In breaking news, 2 Trump officials have anonymously blown the whistle on the administration and leaked the existence of a secret May 2025 ICE memo telling ICE Agents to go ahead and ignore the 4th Amendment preventing illegal searches and seizures in peoples homes, and use Trump administrative official issued Administrative warrants not supervised by a federal judge, to break down doors and arrest undocumented migrants in their own homes. Popok explains how this is violative of decades of Supreme Court precedent requiring that only a Judicial Branch Federal Judge can issue an arrest warrant to break into someone's home. All this against the backdrop of masked armed ICE agents using a 5-year-old little boy as BAIT to capture family members in Minnesota, and Trump's chief Immigration official telling his colleagues they can ignore Federal Court orders.

In this gripping episode, investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and attorney⁠ Eric Bland, confront a week that forces an uncomfortable but urgent question: what happens when power escalates faster than accountability? First, Liz Farrell reports firsthand from the federal arraignment of JP Miller—an appearance marked not just by legal gravity, but by a visible public demand for accountability. What she witnessed was extraordinary: 52 U.S. Marshals on duty, federal prosecutors flooding the jury box, and bombshell revelations that paint JP as both a flight risk and danger to the community. Then through dual lenses of investigative journalism and constitutional law, our hosts unpack a deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota, interrogating how rapidly escalating law enforcement tactics collide with due process, civil rights, and public trust. This is not a partisan conversation. It's a journalistic one. A legal one. And ultimately, a civic one.  Because justice doesn't survive on authority alone... it survives with scrutiny and accountability. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Walk for Peace Facebook Page ☸️

Federal judge appointed Special Master meet DOJ's continued coverup of millions of Epstein Files. Michael Popok explains how Trump's attempt to use Federal Courts to run interference for his refusal to release all the Epstein Files, has backfired, as Rep. Massey and Khanna demand that a federal judge stop trusting the DOJ, and appoint an independent officer of the court to take over the collection, review and production of ALL the Epstein Files.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are ready to celebrate as Myrtle Beach “Pastor” John-Paul Miller is finally going to federal court on Jan. 12 in Florence, South Carolina. He'll be arraigned on two charges related to why his estranged wife, Mica, allegedly killed herself in April 2024. Plus, Mandy and Liz begin peeling back the layers on the Charity Beallis case in Bonanza, Arkansas. Charity, who was 40, was found shot to death in December 2025 alongside the bodies of her 6-year-old twins in their house the DAY AFTER her final divorce hearing.  No suspects have been named yet and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Dr. Randall Beallis, has denied having anything to do with their deaths. The investigation includes six law enforcement agencies, including the United States Secret Service and Homeland Security Investigations, but little information has been given to the public on the status of the case. In the meantime, there's plenty to discuss … especially when it comes to Randall and his dark past.

Now there's hope of a free Cuba for our long lost family there and hope of making past wrongs right once again. I'm with President Trump all the way. Cuba should be a rich, island paradise and it can be as a US territory. It's a strategic asset for our safety too as a base of operations to defend our homeland in the mainland US. There's no downside to toppling the communists who've only stayed in power by killing and jailing Cubans for decades. Now is the time. It can also serve as a helpful spot to run any US/Venezuela operations that benefits America instead of a narco pass through entity used by our enemies as a constant threat to American safety. Russia, China, Venezuela and many others have used Cuba to threaten us for long enough. It's time we take control and empower the Cuban people. No American blood needs to be spilled.

And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice. Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly's seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file. Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days. Captain Kelly's status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action. These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay. https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/2008201370458075286?s=20  energy, and corporatism, all are reliant on the narcos for dark funding.

This is apparently the overture of what is to come – The Secret Dominion/Huawei Data Center in Belgrade, Serbia – that emphatically and officially did not exist – DID exist and was disabled by U.S. gov employees just days prior to the 2024 election. It has now been dismantled, which may disappoint former CIA Director John Brennan, who reportedly financed half of it from the CIA ‘Black Budget.’ The other half of the funding was from our dear friends in China. That’s right, the theft of The US Presidency and multiple other elections worldwide was co-financed by our own CIA – Top Venezuelan engineers who reportedly designed and executed multiple foreign based election frauds in America using Dominion and Smartmatic systems are in America under U.S. gov protection and have provided sworn testimony. They include an engineer who personally helped illegally install Joe Biden as President in 2020 – These engineers are also joined by General Hugo Carvjal, former Head of Venezuelan Intelligence, now in jail in New York (his cellmate is Diddy Combs) and he is cooperating with Fed authorities (see below) – Another Venezuelan General has now also joined General Carvjal in providing 1st person testimony – Official state and court adduced evidence of 2020 election fraud has been compiled for every one of the battleground states. Cowardice and corruption within the American judiciary has scuttled any real progress – Georgia corruption came into better focus last month as Fulton County admitted not following the law concerning over 300K ‘votes’ and then their most corrupt state judge agreed to unseal the 2020 ‘warehouse ballots,’ many of which are officially sworn to be likely counterfeit. What a sad crooked bunch – The DOJ is suing multiple states to require compliance with Federal election laws including HAVA – Georgia is among them – and @AAGDhillon is leading the charge – President Trump pardoned Tina Peters but corrupt Colorado officials refuse to release her from prison. Colorado wants to litigate her role as a Federal officer in their elections while her health declines due to their horrible conditions. Colorado officials are going to pay dearly – An American Armada, the likes of which hasn’t been assembled in this century, sits off the coast of U.S. Election Theft Central. They are resting up after the historic strike extraction of Maduro. They will not idle long.

If the US MIL are going to conduct mass arrests, the public will need to trust them and trust Trump. So for those asking why Trump is arresting Maduro before arresting treasonous actors in the US, I think there is method to the madness. The high-profile US arrests will likely be towards the end, after more of the public are fully bought in on the operation to dismantle the Deep State. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing billions of people that high-profile individuals, including former heads of state, need to be arrested… that's the tricky part. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2008033626294792665?s=20 https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/2007933111729021305?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");
