What are the constitutional limits of executive power? On this week’s Insider episode, Preet is joined by CAFE Contributor and Dean Emeritus of NYU Law School Trevor Morrison, while Joyce is out. In an excerpt from the show, Preet and Trevor discuss the Trump administration’s ongoing resistance to court orders compelling the government to facilitate Kilmar Abrego García’s return to the U.S. after he was wrongly deported to El Salvador.
Also on the Insider docket:
– A judge struck down President Trump’s executive order targeting the law firm Perkins Coie; and
– A court ruled the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members is unlawful.
