Government Overreach and Cryptocurrency Concerns

OA1116 - We take stock a few days into the second Trump administration to consider the current state of ICE enforcement, Trump’s blatantly unlawful overrule of the recent Supreme Court decision forcing the divestiture of TikTok, and the President’s new venture in cryptocurrency. Finally, today’s footnote honors the efforts of one person who is doing her part to write history as it happens.

• Judge John Coughenour’s injunction against Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship (1/23/25)

• SCOTUS decision in TikTok v. Garland (1/17/2025)

• “Application of Protecting America from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications to TikTok,” (1/20/2025) 

• $TRUMP coin price tracker

• “Enforcement Actions At Or Focused on Sensitive Locations” (original ICE “sensitive locations” memo)(10/24/2011)

• Final text of the Laken Riley Act (sent to the President 1/24/25)

• Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s order on DOJ’s motion to dismiss in U.S. v. Gregory Mijares (1/23/25)
