In an excerpt from a new episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the lawsuit filed by the ACLU against the Biden administration challenging the President’s recent executive order that cuts off asylum protections for many individuals who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss recent Supreme Court decisions: 

– The dismissal of a case that sought to restrict access to the abortion pill Mifepristone, where the justices unanimously ruled that the challengers lacked standing to bring the lawsuit; and

– The ruling striking down the federal ban on bump stocks, the semiautomatic rifle attachments that enable rifles to shoot at a faster rate.
