Ep. 94: As Arrests Rise, Is Court Too Risky For Immigrants?
Immigrants are facing a growing risk of arrest if they enter a courthouse, as federal officials are increasingly using courts as staging grounds for enforcement actions. On this week\u2019s show, reporter RJ Vogt joins us to discuss the trend, including why officers say it\u2019s necessary and why advocates say it\u2019s a problem. Also this week, a California appeals court rebukes an attorney who referred a female judge as \u201csuccubistic\u201d; a Mardi Gras dispute in New Orleans over \u201chuge ass beers\u201d; and a nod to famed legal movie \u201cMy Cousin Vinny\u201d from D.C. Circuit Chief Judge Merrick Garland.
