Trump’s Emergency Motion on Fed Backfires Instantly

Michael Popok is back with Karen Friedman Agnifilo with the Legal AF podcast, the #1 law and politics podcast on this week's YouTube rankings, and they take on: 1) a judge finding that the Trump Administration's "evidence" did not support holding Kilmar Abrego in jail nor prove that he was in the MS13 gang; 2) Trump suing all the federal district judges in Maryland in a blatant example of forum shopping; 3) the ultimate DOJ insider blowing the whistle on the DOJ and its assault on federal judges and its impact on the confirmation hearings of Trump's top lawyer Emil Bove for a lifetime appeals court judge position; 4) the Trump Administration running back to the Supreme Court because a Federal Judge ruled that he still has jurisdiction to stop removals without due process to third world countries; 5) E Jean Carroll winning again for the second time in 2 weeks at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to affirm her almost $100 million in judgments against Trump, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

In a 6-3 decision that Justice Sotomayor calls an “abuse of power” by the Supreme Court which turns the nature of Due Process on its head, and rewards the Trump Administration’s flagrant violation of federal court orders, the Supreme Court just ruled that human beings without due process or even limited notice can be deported to dangerous countries they are not even from, like South Sudan and Libya. Michael Popok explains how the MAGA majority of the Court just rewarded Trump’s bad behavior.

The Federal Reserve and its Chairman Jay Powell, the only thing standing between the American People and economic ruin under the disastrous Trump presidency, has refused to obey Trump and ignore Trump’s policies, which have sent the economy into a tailspin marked by high inflation, low job creation, and almost non-existent economic growth. The Fed just decided to ignore Trump and not cut interest rates, as it observes the suffering of American consumers under Trump. Michael Popok puts on his Wall Street hat again to also examine a little covered comment, that Powell is also worried that Trump is “cooking the books” and undermining proper statistical reporting coming out of the Commerce Department ,which the Fed needs to set policy.

Insiders at ICE are coming out against the Trump Administration, reporting low morale and that they are being diverted away from going after criminal migrants for deportation, because Trump and Steven Miller have them focused instead on making 3,000 arrests a day. Michael Popok explains how even right-wing media is calling out Trump’s deranged policies, including that ICE is already $1 billion over budget, and they are making arrests in Home Depot and 7-11 parking lots instead of going after the really bad people.

The Senior Status Federal Judges are striking back and hard against the Trump Administration, issuing some of the most scathing rebukes from the bench and in opinions from their perch as judicial historians as well. Add to this growing list, Judge Young of the Federal Court in Massachusetts, who of the 400+ cases pending against the Trump Administration, just tried the FIRST trial related to Trump’s cut of millions of dollars in grant money issued by the National Institute of Health to the Black, Brown and LGBTQ+ communities, and declared that the decision to cut funding is the most “blatant” and “palpably” racist act by a Government he has ever seen in 40 years. Michael Popok reports on the trial and Judge Young’s ruling and the role of the Senior Status Federal Judges to protect our democracy.
