Full Episode
Lawsuits against the Trump regime for disappearing migrants. Lawsuits against the Trump regime and Elon Musk for stealing people's data. Lawsuits against the Trump regime in order to get access to information what Trump and Elon Musk and Doge are doing. Lawsuits against the Trump regime for Discrimination against LGBTQ rights and the targeting of the trans community.
Lawsuits against the Trump regime for attacking the Department of Education and book bans. Lawsuits against the Trump regime for revoking student visas and throwing foreign students into detention centers without due process on the front lines of it all. Holding the United States away from dictatorship is the ACLU who filed lawsuits on all of those areas and more.
I could probably spend 10 minutes listing all of the areas and topics, but I wanna bring in ACLU's executive director, Anthony Romero, and of course, the big win by the ACLU in the Supreme Court, blocking the deportation of the second group of migrant victims that the Trump regime wanted to send to a concentration camp in El Salvador.
And one of the points I just want to mention about that case that people don't know necessarily is how that ACLU legal team, they were calling the district court judge, they were calling the court of appeals, and the Trump regime was lying. And they were saying, trust us, bro. We're not going to do anything with those migrants while they were loading the buses with the migrants.
And your team, Anthony Romero, was calling the district court judge like, don't call me, ex parte communication. Your team's like, what are you talking about? This is an emergency. The Supreme Court listened.
I just want to, on behalf of the millions of people who follow us here at the Midas Touch Network, and I'm speaking for everybody who loves democracy, thank you for your work at the ACLU, Anthony Romero, executive director.
It's my privilege. My pleasure. Yeah. And they turned those buses around. We got the call from the Supreme Court. I think the clerk called at 1 a.m. to tell us about the order. And that was over the Easter weekend. It's been crazy, Ben. I mean, we've had we have filed 39 lawsuits thus far and we'd be here all day if we had to talk about all of them. You've got the major points. The highlights.
Perfect.
Well, you know, what people don't realize is that the only reason that the district court and the Fifth Circuit ruled against the you all representing the migrants before it got to the Supreme Court was because Trump. And his DOJ was saying, you don't have anything to worry about. We're going to give these migrants a hearing.
