344: Trump Propaganda

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the legality of government-funded political ads, looking at the difference between public service announcements and partisan propaganda, and how it compromises the ethical use of taxpayer funds. Then, the #Sisters review the legality of the Trump administration's third-country removal of immigrants, the SCOTUS decision allowing it to continue, and how international law applies. They also examine the docket on the upcoming SCOTUS term, including cases involving gun control, environmental protections, election law, and more.
