Biden’s Asylum Restrictions Got Tossed. What Now?
Listen now
Description
This week saw a California federal judge block the Biden administration’s attempt to place new restrictions on asylum seekers, ruling that the White House cannot curtail where and how migrants fearing persecution in their home countries can seek shelter in the U.S. Joining Pro Say this week is Law360 senior immigration reporter Britain Eakin to explain why the court faulted the Biden administration, and what the ruling means for the future of asylum law as the government continues to push its policy on appeal. Also this week, a D.C. federal judge ordered Covington & Burling to reveal seven of its clients to assist the government with investigations stemming from a cyberattack from the firm, despite objections from dozens of BigLaw shops who see the move as threat to attorney-client privilege. Next, the 11th Circuit shifts from its very recent precedent to rule that a single unwanted text message is enough to bring a consumer protection claim. Finally, it’s time to talk “Barbenheimer,” as Alex and Hailey break down all the legal tendrils of the movie event of the year.
