Podcasts about federal judges

In a major setback to Trump's attack on Blue States and State Sovereignty, a federal judge has just dismissed one of half a dozen falsely labeled “Sanctuary City” suits brought by Trump's DOJ against Blue States and Cities and his political rivals who refuse to cooperate with funding or personnel to help Trump enforce his depraved Immigration policies. Michael Popok explains how this ruling will be the blueprint used by federal judges in NY, California, NJ, and other states as Federal Judges find new ways to deal Trump more losses.

In this episode, host Kent Hance interviews Judge Lee Yeakel, a former federal judge in Austin, Texas. Judge Yeakel discusses his upbringing, education at the University of Texas, and early legal career, sharing insights into the Texas legal market of the late 1960s. The conversation covers notable legal and sports figures, memorable anecdotes, and the evolution of legal practice.

He reflects on his career, retirement, and ongoing involvement in the legal community.

Unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, federal district trial court Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong in Los Angeles has decided that it is she, rather than the Article II Executive Branch, who is in charge of managing the operations of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement.   She has issued an order that—essentially—instructs ICE that they are obligated to obey the law. More specifically, her order prohibits ICE from improperly profiling suspects based solely on their apparent race or skin color.  Such race-based profiling is, of course, unlawful already.  That said, profiling generally is not unlawful, the profiling must merely be based on lawful considerations beyond solely race or skin-color.  Profiling that incorporates additional factors unrelated to race or skin-color are perfectly lawful—such as presence in an environment known to be frequented by illegal migrant third-world invaders, the inability of the suspect to speak English, and other allowable factors. Indeed, ICE needs only mere reasonable suspicion to stop and investigate a suspected illegal migrant third-world invader who is located anywhere within a full 100 miles of a US border—and, of course, the entirety of Los Angeles falls well within this 100 mile range of the US west coast. Further, the unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district trial court Judge Frimpong has also decided that she has the authority to micro-manage the operations of the Article II Executive Branch agency of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, contrary to the will of the Article II Executive Branch president elected by the whole of the American people to carry out our political will.The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal.

In our news wrap Thursday, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, an overnight Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine lasted nearly ten hours and the Secret Service reportedly suspended six agents over failures related to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania last July.

Federal judge blocks President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship nationwide by certifying a class action lawsuit; Senate takes up the first judicial nomination of the second Trump Administration, passing a procedural vote for Whitney Hermandorfer to be a federal appeals court judge for the 6th Circuit; Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson tells a meeting of the Indianapolis Bar Assn the state of U.S. democracy is what keeps her up at night; Senate Appropriations Committee gets started on the first three FY2026 federal spending bills, even though there is no agreement between Republicans and Democrats on how much total spending there should be. One of those bills is put in limbo after a Democratic amendment passes to block President Donald Trump's decision to move the FBI HQ to the Reagan Int'l Trade Building in DC instead of a site in Greenbelt, Maryland that had been chosen after a long competition, and then Republicans withdraw support from the underlying spending bill; Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he had a 'frank conversation' with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and expressed the U.S.'s frustration over not making progress to end the war in Ukraine; Secretary Rubio also asked about reports that someone has been impersonating him in texts and calls using artificial intelligence, contacting foreign ministers.

Yesterday marked the 157th anniversary of the 14th Amendment's ratification - that's the one dealing with birthright citizenship. Pres. Trump signed an executive ordering revoking birthright citizenship which was blocked by the courts with a nationwide injunction. Then, the US Supreme Court weighed in and said no to the injunction. Today, a federal judge once again blocked Trump's order.   Greg and Holly discuss how the process might play out and if this will hold.

Trump, was a mere 200 days on the bench when he had the dubious honor to be checked by the US Supreme Court itself on June 24 of this year, when SCOTUS paused the injunction Judge Murphy had issued against Trump's efforts to deport murderers and other violent illegal migrants from our great nation.That SCOTUS check didn't even give Judge Murphy pause, however, as the SAME DAY he issued an order informing the White House that the SCOTUS ruling against him nevertheless left him with the authority to order about the President in the exercise of his core and plenary Article III Executive Branch authority as if Trump were a mere clerk in Judge Murphy's court.Naturally, Trump immediately appealed this lawless judge's order right back to the Supreme court.A mere 9 days later, yesterday, July 3, 2025, SCOTUS was obliged to issue a rare “clarification” of its June 24 order against Judge Murphy, explaining as if to an idiot that their ruling against him was COMPREHENSIVE, and not something around which a judge on the federal bench for a mere 209 days was free to wiggle around. Join me LIVE as I break all this down into plain English, and explain what SHOULD be the consequence for unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal court judge demonstrates such a psychotic intent to unlawfully constrain our elected Article II Executive Branch president in carrying out the will of the American people. Get Your FREE Copy of Our Best-Selling Book: "The Law of Self Defense: Principles"Visit Here: https://lawofselfdefense.com/getthebook"You are wise to buy this material.

Today on the Top News in 10, we cover: The House Republicans' Late Night Vote Negotiation on the Big, Beautiful Bill. House Democrats responded by yelling, crying, and mooing. A DC District Court Judge attempts to circumvent the Supreme Court.

The Trump administration has been consistently violating the due process rights of immigrants by trying to deport them before they can assert their constitutional rights to notice and opportunity to be heard. To stop this abusive practice, the federal court judges in Maryland instituted a two-day pause rule before they could be deported. This happens if someone files a petition with the court when they are detained. Trump then had his Department of Justice attorneys file a lawsuit against every single federal district judge in Maryland to try to defeat the two-day pause rule.Glenn discusses the new reporting and the newly filed lawsuit against all federal district judges in Maryland.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

The judiciary is now losing respect. The Federal Judges are now going against the SC and Roberts will eventually need to step in. Never interfere with an enemy while they are in the process of destroying themselves. The [DS] is trying to keep the war going, Trump shuts it down. He gave the peace deal a 12 hour period, I do believe this was done to see what moves the [DS] was going to pull. Trump shuts down Iran and Israel, peace is now going to spread through out the world.

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.    Thanks to HIMS!

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.
