President Donald Trump is banning travelers from 12 countries and partially restricting travelers from seven others, starting on Monday. He announced the ban Wednesday in a proclamation that said the move will protect U.S. national security. It's an echo of Trump's first term, when he signed an executive order blocking travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries. That ban led to protests at airports around the country, including in Minnesota, and a lengthy court battle. Mitchell Hamline School of Law Professor Ana Pottratz Acosta joined Minnesota Now to provide insight into the latest ban.

In Minnesota and across the country, thousands of migrants who are in the U.S. with a status called humanitarian parole are being told their temporary legal protections have ended. Many of these migrants came to the U.S. during Biden's presidency as the administration attempted to expand legal pathways to enter the country. The Trump administration is telling some migrants who entered the U.S. through one humanitarian parole program, called CBP One, to leave the country “immediately.” Ana Pottratz Acosta is a professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law specializing in immigration law and has clients who received the notice to leave. She joined Minnesota Now to break down what this all means and how immigrants living in Minnesota may be impacted.

The detainment of two students at universities in Minnesota is sparking fear and confusion about immigration enforcement against international students. Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested a Turkish MBA student at the University of Minnesota. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says Doğukan Günaydin had his student visa revoked due to a 2023 DWI. An international student at Minnesota State University, Mankato was also detained last week but there have been little details about the circumstances. For more context on these international student detainments, MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Ana Pottratz Acosta, a professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law specializing in immigration law.

This Day in Legal History: Lord Haw-Haw Sentenced to HangOn September 19, 1945, William Joyce, infamously known as "Lord Haw-Haw," was sentenced to death by a British court for treason. Joyce, an American-born British subject, became notorious for his English-language radio broadcasts during World War II, where he spread Nazi propaganda designed to demoralize Allied forces and sway public opinion. His broadcasts, aired from Germany, ridiculed Britain and encouraged defeatism, earning him the mocking nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" due to his affected, sneering tone.Interestingly, before aligning with Nazi Germany, Joyce had served as an informant for the British government on Irish Republican Army (IRA) activities. In the 1920s, Joyce had strong anti-communist and anti-Irish Republican sentiments, and his knowledge of far-right politics in the U.K. led him to assist British authorities in monitoring IRA movements. However, his extreme right-wing views eventually drew him to fascism, and by the late 1930s, he joined Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists before fleeing to Germany at the onset of World War II.The nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" was coined by British journalist Jonah Barrington in reference to the exaggerated aristocratic accent of an anonymous broadcaster. Though it initially referred to another German propagandist, the label stuck to Joyce, who became the most infamous voice behind Nazi broadcasts. His broadcasts, filled with mockery of the British government and predictions of their downfall, made him a household name in Britain, and the face of enemy propaganda. Despite his American birth, Joyce's use of a British passport for his travels was enough for the court to convict him of treason. His execution in January 1946 marked the end of one of the most infamous figures of wartime propaganda.The Compton Courthouse in Los Angeles suffered two major floods in January 2024, caused by burst water valves, resulting in closures and significant disruptions to court operations. Nearly 5,000 cases were impacted, and emergency repairs cost California almost $2.6 million. This courthouse, along with many others in L.A. County, is deteriorating due to a "run to failure" maintenance approach, where repairs are made only after systems break. Budget constraints have forced the California Judicial Council to prioritize only critical repairs, leaving many courthouses vulnerable to failure. Compton is a "medium priority" for repairs, raising concerns about more urgent locations, such as the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, which has also faced severe plumbing and hazardous material issues.Los Angeles has 36 courthouses, many of which are well past their 50-year lifespans, and costly maintenance bills continue to rise. The challenges are compounded by seismic safety risks, as many of these buildings are not built to withstand earthquakes, presenting a significant danger to the public. Renovation and replacement of courthouses are progressing slowly, with only a few new facilities funded each year. Experts suggest modernizing courthouse designs and incorporating technology to reduce the need for large, outdated structures. However, without substantial investment, L.A.'s court infrastructure remains vulnerable to both natural disasters and everyday wear and tear.L.A. Courthouses Crumble With ‘Run to Failure' MaintenanceSecond indoor flood causes Compton Courthouse to close until further noticeCOMPTON COURTHOUSE CLOSED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO ADDITIONAL FLOODING ISSUES AFFECTING ELEVATORS AND LOBBAlso in California legal news, a judge has denied a request to reopen Golden Gate University's law school, which closed after 123 years of operation. California Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer ruled against the plaintiffs, a group of former students and alumni, who had sought an injunction to reinstate the school. The plaintiffs had sued for breach of contract, claiming the university kept students in the dark about its financial struggles before announcing the closure.Golden Gate University cited declining enrollment, poor bar exam pass rates, and a weak job market as reasons for shutting down its law program. While most of the affected students have transferred to other American Bar Association-accredited schools, such as the University of San Francisco School of Law and Mitchell Hamline School of Law, the plaintiffs argue that the school failed to provide adequate transfer options.Although the school will not reopen, the plaintiffs can still pursue monetary damages for claims such as breach of contract and false advertising. A hearing is scheduled for October 22 to determine whether their case will proceed. Golden Gate Law is the latest in a series of law schools nationwide facing closures due to similar challenges.California judge rejects bid to reopen 123-year-old law school | ReutersMark Esper, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, joined Squire Patton Boggs as a part-time senior adviser, where he will focus on advising clients on national security and foreign policy. Although Esper has extensive experience in government and previously worked for defense contractor Raytheon, he will not lobby for the firm's clients in Congress or executive branch agencies. His role will leverage his public policy expertise from over 30 years in high-level government positions.Esper's move comes after his public break with Donald Trump in 2020, particularly over disagreements about invoking the Insurrection Act during protests following George Floyd's murder. He has since emerged as a critic of Trump, calling him a “threat to democracy” while also critiquing President Biden. While at Squire Patton Boggs, Esper will continue his work with venture capital firm Red Cell Partners and European think tank GLOBSEC.The firm views Esper's hire as a key step toward becoming a leader in national security advisory services. His work is expected to focus more on helping multinational corporations navigate the intersection of economic policy and national security rather than direct governmental advocacy.Trump Defense Secretary Esper Joins Squire Patton BoggsEx-Trump defense secretary Esper joins law firm Squire Patton Boggs | ReutersSenate Democrats are working to strike a deal with Republicans to confirm a backlog of President Biden's judicial nominees before the end of the year. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin is hopeful that Republicans will agree to a package of nominees, a practice that was more common in less partisan times. With the Senate's slim Democratic majority, confirmations have been challenging, particularly for nominees like Rebecca Pennell and Mustafa Kasubhai, whose votes were delayed due to attendance issues and GOP opposition.Some nominees, such as Charnelle Bjelkengren, faced significant hurdles, with Bjelkengren withdrawing earlier this year due to a failed confirmation hearing. Kasubhai, who is still awaiting a vote, has been scrutinized by Republicans over his stance on diversity and past writings. Additionally, Democrats have faced internal opposition, with key senators refusing to support Adeel Mangi's nomination due to allegations of affiliations with controversial groups. The Senate faces a tight deadline, with a limited five-week "lame duck" session following the upcoming election recess, during which they must juggle these nominations alongside other legislative priorities.Democrats Look to Strike Deal With Republicans on Judicial PicksEU antitrust regulators have initiated proceedings to ensure Apple complies with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires the company to open its closed ecosystem to rivals. The European Commission aims to clarify what Apple must do to meet its obligations, focusing on iOS interoperability for devices like smartwatches, headphones, and VR headsets, as well as how Apple handles third-party and developer requests for connectivity. The Commission expects to finalize the guidelines within six months, with Apple at risk of fines up to 10% of its annual global turnover if it fails to comply. Apple has expressed willingness to cooperate but warned that opening its systems could expose users to security risks.EU antitrust regulators tell Apple how to comply with tech rules | ReutersAnd something of a double-dip in the Apple news bowl, in a piece I wrote for Forbes I spoke about the European Union's recent win in a legal battle requiring Ireland to collect €13 billion in unpaid taxes from Apple–a significant victory in the fight against multinational tax avoidance. Although the EU's highest court upheld the decision, Ireland remains reluctant to claim the windfall, as doing so could threaten its status as a low-tax haven that attracts large corporations. Ireland had argued, alongside Apple, that the taxes were not owed, reflecting its desire to maintain control over its tax policies.This case highlights the tension between national tax sovereignty and EU regulations aimed at curbing unfair competition through favorable tax deals. While the EU can force Ireland to reclaim the unpaid taxes, it cannot dictate how the country spends the money, leaving the Irish government with a difficult decision. Ireland's low corporate tax rate has been key to its economic growth, but the Apple ruling could have global ramifications as more countries adopt minimum tax frameworks to address tax avoidance by multinational corporations.The case underscores broader issues in international tax law, as countries like Luxembourg and the Netherlands, also known for favorable tax policies, may face similar pressures. While Ireland is legally obligated to collect the money, its cautious approach reflects a concern about maintaining its attractiveness to global businesses. The funds remain in escrow, and Ireland has yet to reveal how it plans to utilize the money, which is equivalent to 2.43% of its GDP.You Can Give Ireland Tax Revenue—But Can You Make Ireland Spend It?

Jim Sullivan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sullivan9999/) joins Brian Roberts(https://www.linkedin.com/in/beeberts/) in the Attorney Lounge (https://linktr.ee/attorneylounge) and explains how artificial intelligence is disrupting the legal industry. The conversation starts immediately when Brian asks Jim whether AI lawyers will replace real lawyers and Jim flat out says yes - that while AI is not going to replace all lawyers, it is going to replace certain positions. With that displacement, however, the discussion evolves into conversation about all of the new jobs and opportunities that will develop as a result of this new technology. Jim talks about many of the use cases where AI is being applied in the legal industry today including, in particular, in the classification of relevant documents in the production of discovery.Jim grew up in a small mining town in Minnesota called Hibbing. He went to school for computer science and math, but started looking at law school as an option after graduating from Minnesota State. After taking the practice LSATs and doing well, he decided to go to law school at Mitchell Hamline School of Law as a unique way to combine unique skill sets of law and computer science. Jim talks about his path to entrepreneurship and his willingness to take on more risk than most lawyers. Today, Jim's past experience as a tech expert and lawyer are now coming together in a unique way to take advantage of these new opportunities to leverage AI in the legal industry. Jim's wife perhaps sums up his expertise best by referring to him as a “nerd translator.” He's now leveraging that expertise to disrupt the legal industry.Please visit the links below for more information about Jim, Brian, eDiscovery AI and Array, who serves as the host sponsor of The Attorney Lounge.Links:Jim Sullivan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sullivan9999/Brian Roberts: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beeberts/eDiscovery AI: https://ediscoveryai.com/Array: https://www.trustarray.com Lawyers careers

Did the governor's emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic violate the state constitution? A judge decided this week to send the question back to the Minnesota Supreme Court. The state Court of Appeals sided with Walz in July. Now, the Supreme Court has agreed to review the case. For context, MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer talked with Mitchell Hamline School of Law professor Jason Marisam.

Join host Patrick Patino as he engages in a candid conversation with Natalie Netzel, a legal professor with a passion for promoting healing and well-being in the legal profession. The podcast explores the challenges attorneys face, the pressure to be perfect, and the toll it can take on mental health. They discuss the need for a growth mindset, embracing failure, and redefining what it means to succeed in the law school profession. Together, they contemplate the power of vulnerability, how attorneys can serve as guides and doulas in navigating the legal system, and the potential for a new generation of "newfangled lawyers" focused on promoting healing and humanity within the legal profession. In this episode we discuss how love, compassion, sorrow, and sadness drive the human experience in the practice of law. Natalie Netzel is an Associate Professor of Law and the Director of the Clinical Legal Education Program at Mitchell Hamline School of Law. She has experience representing parents, kin, and youth in child protection proceedings. She tries her best to be trauma-informed as a professor and a lawyer.

The Lake Traverse Reservation is easy to find on most maps put out by the federal government and apps like MapQuest. But the home of the federally recognized Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate is nowhere to be seen on the state's Department of Transportation map. It's one of three reservations the agency chooses to leave off. The reasons are complicated and come down to interpretations of the legal definitions of each reservation. We'll talk about what's behind the omission and what Native scholars and others are doing to change it. GUESTS Angelique EagleWoman (member of Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate), law professor and director of the Native American Law and Sovereignty Institute at Mitchell Hamline School of Law and chief justice of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Supreme Court State Rep.

Professor Angelique EagleWoman is the Director of the Native American Law and Sovereignty Institute at Mitchell Hamline School of Law. She joined Jason to explain the significance of today's historic decision by the Supreme Court, upholding tribal sovereignty when it comes to adoption of Native children.

The US Supreme Court has upheld the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act, also known as ICWA. The case was closely watched by tribal communities in Minnesota and across the country. The law gives priority to tribal families in the foster care and adoption cases of Native American children. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer speaks with Professor Angelique EagleWoman, director of the Native American Law and Sovereignty Institute at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

Today we are joined by Ann Gemmell, the Vice President for Enrollment at Mitchell Hamlin School of Law, who talks about the unique opportunities for enrollment at the school. We talk about the blended program, which is a mostly online program that allows students to learn both online and in-person. Ann describes the program's structure and how it works, as well as the various types of students that can benefit from this program, such as those with work or family obligations, those who live far away from a law school, and those who want to have a more flexible schedule. We hope that this video provides valuable information for anyone considering enrolling in law school and wanting to explore their options.

The federal Indian Child Welfare Act, known as ICWA, became law in 1978 in response to what was called a crisis of Native children being removed from their families by social service agencies. Two studies found 25 to 35 percent of all American Indian children were taken from their families and 90 percent were placed with white families. In the case now before the U.S. Supreme Court, non-Native families wanting to adopt Native children are challenging provisions of the federal law designed to protect Native family and cultural connections. Among other things, the law prioritizes where Native children should be placed if they are adopted, the first priority is extended family, followed by someone in their tribe or another Native family. The plaintiffs in the Brackeen case argue the federal government is unlawfully imposing requirements on states. They also contend that protections for American Indian children are based on an unconstitutional racial classification, said Mitchell Hamline School of Law professor, and Director of the Native American Law and Sovereignty Institute, Angelique EagleWoman.But, American Indians have always had political, not racial status as members of sovereign tribal nations who have treaty relationships with the U.S. government, said EagleWoman.“For hundreds of years there have been U.S. Supreme Court cases that recognize the tribal nation status and the political status of tribal citizens.”Possible broad implicationsSome worry a Supreme Court ruling in the Brackeen case could have broad implications for the sovereign status of American Indian tribes. But EagleWoman expects the Supreme Court decision to be narrow. “In my view, the U.S Supreme Court may carve out the third placement preference. They may tweak some of the ways in which states are required to do record keeping for Indian Child Welfare Act cases,” she said.“I do not foresee a sweeping decision or a change to the Tribal nation U.S. relationship in a decision coming out of the Brackeen case. I think that is a step much too far for any U.S. Supreme Court to take.”The Court is expected to release its decision by the end of June. ‘Gold standard of protection'Uncertainty about the future of ICWA brought urgency to legislative efforts this year to strengthen the Minnesota Indian Family Preservation Act or MIFPA. Lawmakers in both houses passed the legislation and Governor Walz is expected to sign it. “MIFPA legislation creates basically the gold standard of protection for our native kids,” said State Senator Mary Kunesh. Kunesh said it was critical to clarify parts of the state law that relied on the federal law for guidance. “We removed any reference to ICWA, so should ICWA go away or be amended in a way that does not fully protect our kids, Minnesota has those protections in place,” she said. But the state needs to do more said Kunesh. Placement disparitiesMinnesota still has some of the greatest racial disparities in the country for out of home placement of children. American Indian children are 16 times more likely than white children to experience out of home care, according to a 2020 report by the the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Why that disparity exists is a complicated question according to people involved with the system on a daily basis.“I have been doing this work in Minnesota for over 20 years and I will say that that is a question that keeps me up at night,” said Shannon Smith, executive director of the ICWA Law Center in Minneapolis. “Minnesota is often lifted up on the national stage as a place where all these awesome things are going on and then it's always kind of that dagger of like, ‘and then we have our numbers,'” she said.The numbers also show disparity in how counties enforce the laws designed to keep Native children close to their families and culture. Counties out of complianceThe Department of Human Services began checking county compliance with specific requirements of the law in 2017. Data shows compliance rates have improved, but in 2022, the agency reviewed 37 counties and found 21 were out of compliance, resulting in a reduction in state aid. Smith said children are often removed from homes because of what is defined as neglect. She said poverty, addiction, cultural bias and a range of other social issues often contribute to that decision. Grandma's House Learning Ojibwe as a first language in Cloquet Uprooted The plan to erase Indian Country I've never told anyone stories of life in Indian boarding schools A reckoning Nuns apologize for Native boarding schools “And when we think about the child welfare system and all these different systems, it's kind of the perfect place for them all to come together and have this really devastating impact to communities,” she said. The state needs to provide more resources for counties to improve staffing and provide adequate training to fully implement ICWA and MIFPA, said Kunesh.“The counties have to make a commitment, and we have to make a commitment at the legislature to fund those counties to ensure that there are people and resources available in order to do that,” she said.

Now they're adults and helping kids feel like they have a voice through their children's books.  Guests: Thuba Nguyen has been an early childhood educator for more than a decade. Her expertise is in anti-bias and anti-racist pedagogy. They're the author of the children's book, “My Daddy Tells Me.” She's now working as the communications specialist for the Minnesota House of Representatives People of Color and Indigenous Caucus and Queer Caucus.

Friday, January 27 is Holocaust Remembrance Day. That's the day that the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated. Even though one of the most horrific genocides in history occurred less than 100 years ago, according to the Institute on Holocaust Education, ten percent of American millennials and Gen Z do not believe or are uncertain that the Holocaust happened. Almost 60% of that age group believe something like the Holocaust could happen again. Ellen Kennedy has worked for more than 20 years to set the record straight—and to prevent a similar event from ever happening again. Kennedy is the executive director and founder of World Without Genocide, a human rights organization based at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law. She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the rise of antisemitism in Minnesota and her goals for educating Minnesotans about the genocide.

How can you become more comfortable with failure and use it to fuel your passions? This week we talk with Wynne Reece, who runs Reece Law with her father, and created a legal niche, The Creative's Counsel®. We dive into the business aspects that creatives need (and may not love to focus on) as well as the idea of failure, and what can be gained by it.   Specializing in corporate, intellectual property, and mergers and acquisitions, Wynne supports businesses in an outside general counsel capacity. Wynne is self-described as a “conscientious lawyer and public speaker, fueled by hard work, passion, success, with tireless support for others.”  Her creation of the legal niche, The Creative's Counsel®, allows her to work with entrepreneurs and creatives on the business aspects they need but may not love to focus on.  We dive into the idea of failure, and what can be gained by "failing fast" as she shares her tactics, and offers words of encouragement to those who might be struggling.  Wynne's sense of giving back comes directly from her parents who have aided her in doing good within the world.  In this episode, you'll… learn where Wynne's philosophy of caring for others came from and how she made it a business. learn what happens within our culture when we fail, and what that might create. learn where the shame of failure begins. hear how Wynne mentors and guides creatives through and past failure. learn what to look for in your business team beyond “lawyer” or “accountant.” Wynne's bio: Partner and Certified IP Paralegal, Wynne Reece, focuses her practice on general litigation matters and business counseling, while also passionately pursuing pro bono work and community involvement. In less than 4 years, Wynne started two successful businesses and at just 30 years old, she successfully sold one of them to devote her energy to a legal niche, The Creative's Counsel®. The Creative's Counsel® focuses on supporting business owners, by offering them affordable and approachable legal work, with counsel they can relate to. Reece Law, P.L.L.C. was founded in 2013 and to date Wynne has worked with over 700 businesses, in an outside counsel capacity. All this time, she continues to organize and partake in philanthropic ventures in our community, she has completed over 150 pro bono hours per year including founding a pro bono legal clinic in North Minneapolis, she has served on a number of committees and boards, she has served as the Mock Trial Chair, and she is an adjunct professor for the business law clinic at Mitchell Hamline School of Law. 

Roe v. Wade is one of the very few U.S. Supreme Court cases that many ordinary people know by name. The landmark 1973 decision made abortion legal in America. Now, a majority of the current court says that ruling was “egregiously wrong,” opening the way for states to restrict abortion or ban it entirely. Abortion is still legal under current Minnesota law. Could that change? And what does the decision mean for other states and the country as a whole? MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two law professors about abortion rights and access in a post-Roe world and other implication's of last week's ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Guests:  Laura Hermer is a law professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul and the author of the article, “Covid-19, Abortion, and Public Health in the Culture Wars.” Jill Hasday is a professor of constitutional law, family law and legal history at the University of Minnesota Law School and the author of two books: “Family Law Reimagined” and “Intimate Lies and the Law.”
