243: Independence Day

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to look at the challenges posed by political turmoil, and expose the horrific allegations of torture against deportees. Then, the #Sisters discuss the 8th Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment, how it applies to those being targeted by ICE, and the importance of free speech in the face of chilling actions by the Trump government. They also look at recent politically based lawsuits targeting the administration’s enemies, the future of immigration after the passage of the recent budget bill, and the merits of possible denaturalization efforts.
