This morning SCOTUS ruled Federal Judges cannot issue nationwide injunctions. This clears the way for debate over Trump's executive order redefining birthright citizenship, which he would argue is more in line with the original intent of the 14th Amendment.
Michael Popok is back with Karen Friedman Agnifilo with the Legal AF podcast, the #1 law and politics podcast on this week's YouTube rankings, and they take on: 1) a judge finding that the Trump Administration's "evidence" did not support holding Kilmar Abrego in jail nor prove that he was in the MS13 gang; 2) Trump suing all the federal district judges in Maryland in a blatant example of forum shopping; 3) the ultimate DOJ insider blowing the whistle on the DOJ and its assault on federal judges and its impact on the confirmation hearings of Trump's top lawyer Emil Bove for a lifetime appeals court judge position; 4) the Trump Administration running back to the Supreme Court because a Federal Judge ruled that he still has jurisdiction to stop removals without due process to third world countries; 5) E Jean Carroll winning again for the second time in 2 weeks at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to affirm her almost $100 million in judgments against Trump, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

On the latest episode of The Intersection podcast join Michael Popok as he provides urgent analysis at the intersection of law and politics and, on this special "lying" and "f-bomb" edition, takes on: 1) a new bombshell DOJ insider who just ratted out senior leadership at the DOJ, including someone up for a lifetime federal judge position, for instruction DOJ lawyers to not only not comply with federal court orders, but to lie about it, and tell courts to "F' off," 2) the MAGA majority of the Supreme Court undermining hundreds of years of Due Process and 5th Amendment rights in a 1 paragraph "emergency" order; 3) a Federal Judge calling out Trump for lying about Harvard and trying to lead it to "slaughter" as she rules for Harvard agains Trump for the second time in 2 weeks; 4) a Federal magistrate finds that the Trump Administration has no real evidence other than "double hearsay" to keep Kilmar Abrego in detention until his trial on human smuggling charges, and so much more.

This is a departure from his administration's earlier “maximum pressure” campaign, which since February 2025 aimed to reduce Iran's oil exports to zero by targeting Chinese refineries and Iran's shadow fleet of tankers. The U.S. had recently imposed sanctions on Chinese “teapot” refineries and port operators for processing Iranian oil, disrupting some trade. Trump's comment could signal a pause or reversal of these measures, allowing China to continue importing Iranian crude without immediate penalties. Trump's hope that China will “purchase plenty from the U.S.” suggests this could be part of a broader trade strategy. By allowing China to buy Iranian oil, Trump might be aiming to negotiate increased Chinese purchases of U.S. oil or other goods, offsetting the impact of his tariff policies. This could also be a diplomatic gesture to reduce tensions with China amid ongoing trade disputes or to encourage China to pressure Iran into nuclear deal negotiations, as some analysts suggest. https://twitter.com/SecScottBessent/status/1937218178574123382 up by Washington's negligence has led to human suffering on a massive scale and a severe market distortion. President Trump is the first leader in a generation to take this problem seriously. This is why the administration is so committed to passing the One Big Beautiful Bill. This legislation is just as much an immigration bill as it is a tax bill. It will finish the President's border wall and provide federal law enforcement with resources to hire thousands of new personnel to combat illegal immigration, drug cartels, and human trafficking. The goal is to end exploitation in black markets and secure the border for years to come. The American people called for immigration sanity by voting for President Trump. It's time for Congress to answer the call.

The Trump Administration continues to poke the bear in Judge Xinis, this time filing a new motion telling her she has no jurisdiction to find them in contempt, because, wait for it, they finally brought ABREGO GARCIA back from El Salvador, not to her courtroom but to Tennessee on a manufactured indictment. Michael Popok explains how the Trump Administration is bringing ABREGO GARCIA back for their own purposes, which actually proves contempt, and explains what Judge Xinis will do next when it comes to Trump contempt charges.

On this episode: For over 75 years, the American Bar Association has played a key role in evaluating the professional qualifications of federal judicial nominees. But its involvement has long been a source of debate—particularly among Republicans, with concerns about bias dating back to the Reagan administration. In this episode, University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias explains how the ABA's process works, why some view it as a valuable independent resource, and why others argue it should be excluded from the nomination process altogether. We also discuss the implications of recent moves to curtail the ABA's access and what that could mean for judicial confirmations going forward.Learn more about the ABA: https://ballotpedia.org/ABA_ratings_during_the_Trump_administration Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week Jeff opens with the long-awaited Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, a dazzling military operation years in the making. But instead of support for Israel, Jeff is stunned by the response: hatred not only from the far left but now pouring out of MAGA's biggest names. Yes, the Trump-right has joined Hamas and the progressive left in their obsessive Jew hatred, and Jeff is seething.Trump, meanwhile, couldn't resist taking credit for the Israeli success after the fact, even though he reportedly tried to block the strike for months. And if he actually helped, why didn't he greenlight American B-52s to finish the job on the underground nuke sites? Why is he trying to make a huge deal when the world's biggest sponsor of terror is on its knees?Also this week: a tale of how a young lawyer buying his first suits comes full circle 30 years later, this time as a man paying cash with 44 tailored suits under his belt. Plus, Jeff faces a federal judge he went to college with and admits, despite all of his own accomplishments, the judge is the better man.As always, Jeff pulls no punches. Not for MAGA. Not for Trump. Not for the far left. And certainly not for anyone siding with the world's worst terror regime.
The wins for President Donald J. Trump keep STACKING up!First, we have the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals INSTAMATIC stop of the insane TRO issued by 83-year-old Clinton-appointed San Francisco Judge Charles Breyer ordering President Trump to turn over command of the National Guard in Los Angeles, America's second largest city still being torn apart by rebellion, rioting, looting, and arson. Next, just when the lawyers for terrorist spokesperson Mahmoud Khalil were certain they'd won his release from ICE detention—KAPOW, Trump throws a razor-edge Uno Reverso card right in their FACE—and the Federal Judge in that case is compelled to concede that not only must Khalil stay locked up, the judge declines to hear from him or his lawyers further on the matter of his release.

Jen Psaki covers breaking news of an attack by Israel on Iran, while at the same time a federal judge issued a temporary stay on Donald Trump's use of the National Guard in Los Angeles and California Governor Gavin Newsom addresses the press.
President Trump unlawfully federalized thousands of members of California's National Guard and must return control of the troops to the state, a federal judge ruled. The ruling is a significant win for Gov. Gavin Newsom, who sued Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth earlier this week after the president called the troops into federal service in the wake of protests in the Los Angeles area over Trump's hardline immigration policies.

In this powerful short from Episode 47 of See You in Court, Professor Stephen Vladeck challenges the narrative that federal judges are politically targeting the Trump administration. Backed by new research, Vladeck reveals that 46 rulings against Trump-era policies came from 39 judges appointed by five different presidents from both parties—across 11 federal district courts and 7 circuits. This isn't about partisan politics—it's about judicial independence and the integrity of the legal process.
A United States federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order directing President Donald Trump to return control of the National Guard to California. The order says the deployment of the Guard was illegal, violating the Tenth Amendment and exceeding Trump's statutory authority.
A federal judge heard California's challenge of President Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles to assist during protests and immigration raids. The administration argued troops have the right to be there to protect law enforcement. California Gov. Newsom called the actions a power grab that violate the Constitution.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/10/2025): 3:05pm- In response to a series of ICE raids intended to remove migrants residing in the United States unlawfully, protests broke out in Los Angeles, California—sometimes turning violent and destructive. Videos circulating on social media show ICE agents being assaulted with bricks and commercial-grade fireworks. Numerous vehicles—including Waymo self-driving taxis—were set on fire by violent demonstrators. Other videos show demonstrators burning American flags and chanting “F*** ICE.” As the protests carried on into the night on Sunday, multiple businesses were looted in downtown Los Angeles, according to reports. President Donald Trump used the National Guard to stifle ongoing violence—and on Monday night, the administration authorized the deployment of 700 Marines. According to estimations from CNN, at least 113 people were arrested on Monday. 3:15pm- While speaking from the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Donald Trump was asked about Saturday's parade in Washington D.C. to celebrate the Army's 250th birthday. Trump explained the importance of celebrating our country and its achievements, specifically referencing America's victory over authoritarianism in World War II—“We are the one that won the war. If it wasn't for us, you would be speaking German right now, ok? We won the war and—you might be speaking Japanese, too. You might be speaking a combination of both." 3:30pm- While appearing on CNN with host Dana Bash, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) accused President Donald Trump of being an authoritarian for deploying the California National Guard to stifle violent outbreaks in Los Angeles. Rich asks: Does Bernie think John F. Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower were authoritarians when they federalized the National Guard to prevent violence and enforce the national expansion of Civil Rights? 4:00pm- Congressman Guy Reschenthaler—U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 14th Congressional District & House Republican Chief Deputy Whip—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to the far-left downplaying violence in L.A.: “you don't wear a mask during Covid and that's an insurrection,” according to Democrats. But when people attack ICE agents, they call it a “peaceful protest.” Plus, what is the status of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act? 4:30pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered a speech from Fort Bragg in North Carolina where he called the U.S. military the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. 5:00pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered a speech from Fort Bragg in North Carolina where he called the U.S. military the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. 5:15pm- Primary Day in New Jersey: Mikie Sherril, the frontrunner to win the Democratic Party's nomination for Governor of New Jersey, responded to the Trump Administration's decision to use the National Guard and Marines to stifle violent protests in Los Angeles: “To have someone like [Defense Secretary Pete] Hegseth say that he's going to put the Marines on the streets of America, that's really dangerous. It's dangerous for our civilization population, it's not good for the Marines” 5:30pm- Andrew C. McCarthy—Senior fellow at National Review & former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “President Trump Has Legal Authority to Suppress the Siege in L.A.” McCarthy reacts to news that a federal judge has denied Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D-CA) effort to prevent the Trump Administration's use of the National Guard to halt violence in Los Angeles. You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2025/06/president-trump-has-legal-authority-to-suppress-the-siege-in-l-a/. McCarthy is also author of the book “Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency.” 6:05pm- ABC News correspondent Terry Moran was suspended yesterday after openly expressing disdain for W ...
Immigration raids in Los Angeles spark three days of protests. President Trump deploys the National Guard to the city against the wishes of California Governor Gavin Newsom. As federal judges serve as a check on the power of President Trump's administration, some judges extend their own power over the lives of those who work for them. And, six months after massive fires destroyed entire communities in Los Angeles, NPR kicks off a week of climate solutions reporting with a focus on housing.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

In this week's episode, Asha Rangappa and Renato Mariotti discuss two federal judge smackdowns. First, D.C. District Court Judge Richard Leon asks (in legalese), “WTF?” in response to Trump's executive order targeting the law firm Wilmer Hale with a decision declaring the entire order unconstitutional. Meanwhile, Massachusetts District Judge Brian Murphy calls out the Trump administration's hypocrisy in failing to comply with a solution the administration itself suggested for giving due process to the migrants being deported to South Sudan. Listen to Asha and Renato discuss how courts are getting to the end of their rope with Trump's legal shenanigans! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
At the same time that a Federal Judge in Boston entered a Preliminary Injunction to prevent the Trump Administration from killing Harvard's foreign student program which is more than 25% of its student body, just 9 miles away, 32,000 people in the Harvard Community joined together to provide thunderous applause for Harvard's President Alan Garber as a rebuke of Trump as the crowd learned that Harvard had just beaten Trump again in court. Michael Popok explains why this case is so important and how Harvard's profile in courage is a blueprint for success against the ever “chickening out” Trump.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the activist courts are at it again. At this point, it's clear that in the view of most judges in this country, the president has no authority to do anything at all. Also, schools across the country are moving to a "no-zero" grading policy. Homeschooling looks better and better by the day. And in their desperate quest to appeal to men, the Democrats have called in an expert. A self-professed plus sized, disabled, queer Latina feminist. Who could possibly understand men better than her?

In response to a Federal Judge blocking Trump's latest efforts to destroy Harvard by denying it the ability to recruit foreign students, Trump has gone another holiday rager, posting on Memorial Day that he will try to divert about $500 million dollars in funding meant for bio medical research, to trade schools presumably in Red States. Michael Popok takes a careful look at Judge Burrows' ruling, Trump's response, and the likely outcome. Allermi: For 60% off your order, head to https://Allermi.com and use code LEGALAF.

A Federal Judge —with the full support of the Supreme Court— ripped Trump's DOJ a new one in court, and is likely about to find the Trump Administration in contempt for refusing in “bad faith” to comply with her order to detail under oath steps taken to obtain the return of Armando Abrego Garcia from an El Salvador jail. Michael Popok explains what Judge Xinis is likely to order this coming week and why as the Trump Administration doubles down on a losing hand. Miracle Made: Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!
