California Judge OVERTURNS Assault Weapons Ban

Trump’s invasion of Minnesota takes another dark and dangerous turn. Tonight on Legal AF, Ben and Popok breaks down how Americans are no longer safe in their own homes, members of the press are being targeted, and another U.S. citizen protester has been shot and killed as federal forces escalate their presence on the ground. We examine the constitutional collapse unfolding in real time — where First Amendment rights, Fourth Amendment protections, and basic human safety are being trampled under the guise of “law and order.” We also turn to the global stage, where the world — led by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — has decisively rejected Donald Trump’s strongman tactics and sent him packing in diplomatic defeat. Back at home, Special Counsel Jack Smith reminds America of a sobering truth: the White House is occupied by a criminal, and accountability has not disappeared just because Trump wishes it would. Finally, we look ahead to the Supreme Court, where even this Court appears poised to deal Trump a significant loss — signaling serious trouble for his tariff agenda and exposing the limits of presidential power. It’s a packed, urgent episode focused on truth, law, and the fight to preserve our constitutional democracy.

Is Trump building a secret harden bunker deep under the Golden Ball Room with money he diverted and laundered through the Park Service public accounts to his private White House residence bank accounts? All of these issues came out in public during a hearing before Federal Judge Leon, who seems poised to issue a “stop work order” to prevent further vertical construction of the Ball Room without Congressional approval. Michael Popok ties it all together.

In breaking news, 2 Trump officials have anonymously blown the whistle on the administration and leaked the existence of a secret May 2025 ICE memo telling ICE Agents to go ahead and ignore the 4th Amendment preventing illegal searches and seizures in peoples homes, and use Trump administrative official issued Administrative warrants not supervised by a federal judge, to break down doors and arrest undocumented migrants in their own homes. Popok explains how this is violative of decades of Supreme Court precedent requiring that only a Judicial Branch Federal Judge can issue an arrest warrant to break into someone’s home. All this against the backdrop of masked armed ICE agents using a 5-year-old little boy as BAIT to capture family members in Minnesota, and Trump’s chief Immigration official telling his colleagues they can ignore Federal Court orders.

Trump, trying desperately to distract from a new cycle from hell (Greenland fail; Supreme Court fail; Jack Smith fail), just filed a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase and Jamie Dimond for “debanking” Trump and some of his companies, and “blackllsiting” them, that now opens him up to depositions and discovery about: a) his companies Tax Fraud convictions; b his companies and children’s civil fraud judgment and court ordered monitor; c) his more than 75 felony counts of indictments, and last but not least, an alleged $8 million dollar loan into Truth Social from sources linked to Putin and a porn-industry bank in Domenica reported in the Washington Post. Popok takes a hard look at the complaint and points out that it is factually at odds with another suit filed by Trump against the WaPo in Sarasota, Florida, in 2023.

As Trump short circuited today on the way to Switzerland (literally), his cowardice was in full view, as he threw Lindsey Halligan under the bus and let her resign in disgrace on the receiving end of back to back federal court orders in the last 24 hours.  Popok explains how this links to a growing list of Trump political hacks having to resign in disgrace, as Trump succumbed to political pressure and the will of the people again.

A federal judge just invited members of congress and Epstein Survivors to file a federal lawsuit against the DOJ for its willful violation the Epstein Transparency Act as it continues to “disappear” millions of documents, denying the survivors the dignity and justice they deserve. Popok who represents one of the survivor leaders Lisa Phillips reports on Judge Engelmeyer’s order that may have found he doesn’t have the power to appoint a special master to force the production of Epstein documents, but invited a new lawsuit at the very same time.

In a blistering and breaking new order, a Trump Appointed Judge, not only stripped Lindsey Halligan of her US Attorney Title, but also said that her prior filings with AG Bonta and Deputy AG Blanche were “beneath” her office and more “suitable for cable talk shows” and bemoaned the Trump Administration’s continued defiance of federal court orders, as he threatened to start law license disciplinary proceedings against Halligan, Blanche, and Bondi.
