2456 - Israel Breaks Ceasefire, Trump's Illicit Deportations ft. Austin Kocher

It’s News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma are joined by Austin Kocher, political and legal geographer studying immigration enforcement, and Assistant Research Professor at Syracuse University. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel’s  bombardment of Gaza – breaking another ceasefire and killing hundreds – Trump’s back-and-forth with the judicial system, DOGE’s assault on the US Government, Trump’s union-busting pick for NLRB General Counsel, Trump’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian speech, the FDA’s move to delapidated office spaces, an abortion arrest out of Texas, and Trump’s attack on the Social Security Administration, before expanding on Israel’s violation of a ceasefire in Gaza with strikes killing over 300, and setting the stage for a potential return to ground invasion. Professor Austin Kocher then joins, diving right into the Trump Administration’s recent deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvadorian “gulags” under the guise of association with militant gang “Tren de Aragua,” exploring the unsurprising revelations about the *lack* of association between many of these migrants and the gang, and why authoritarian President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele was so happy to bring these migrants into his expansive prison labor system ($6 million will help). Next, Professor Kocher steps back to assess the insane legal “strategy” grounding Trump’s agenda, with his blantant push for chaos allowing for his regime to carry out astonishingly inhumane actions amid countless injuctions and court orders, and why Judge Boasberg’s push to get attourney’s to sign onto their arguments might create some liability moving forward. After expanding on the regime’s obvious misrepresentation of who they are deporting, Austin, Sam, and Emma walk through the various layers of protection offered to immigrants in the US right now, including preemptive legal action, and knowing your rights, before wrapping up the interview by assessing exactly how absurd Trump’s claim of an “invasion” truly is.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch White House Spox. Karoline Leavitt attempt to claim verbal court orders don’t count, reflect on Trump’s growing friction with the courts, and unpack Steve Bannon’s and Fox News’ respective attempts to defend Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. Tim Walz and Chris Murphy begin to turn the tide of how Democrats are talking about the neoliberal era, Brady from Kentucky discusses a potential run for office, and a bunch of Big Tech fraudsters lie about the “failure” of Social Security, Phil from Delaware tackles SB-21, plus, your calls and IMs!

Also joining the program is Austin Kocher; political and legal geographer studying immigration enforcement, Assistant Research Professor at Syracuse University.
