DHS Policy and Shooting At Vehicles

Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to mourn the killing of Renée Good by an ICE agent, weigh its legal implications, explain the jurisdictional challenges playing out between the state of Minnesota and the federal government, and share the ways they find hope amid tragedy.  Then, the #Sisters discuss the legality of the Trump administration’s takeover of Venezuela and kidnapping of its President, looking at the future of their oil industry, charges against Maduro in NY, and what it all means for international law and foreign relations.  They also review the legal arguments in the upcoming SCOTUS case centered on transgender athletes and the decision’s implications.
