  • Meet Leqaa Kordia: Palestinian Protester Freed After a Year in "ICE Dungeon"

    We speak with Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia, who was freed on March 16 after spending more than a year in an ICE jail in Texas. She was arrested in 2025 as part of the Trump administration’s campaign to target student activists and others who advocated for Palestinian rights. Kordia was born in the occupied West Bank and lives in New Jersey. She was arrested in 2024 during the Gaza solidarity protests at Columbia University. The charges against her were dropped the next day, but she was detained in March 2025 by ICE during a routine immigration check-in. “It was supposed to be just a regular meeting with my lawyer [and the] ICE agents. It led to arrest,” says Kordia. “They took me in an unmarked car directly to the airport, and […]

  • Arizona Sec. of State: Trump Is "Trying to Pick His Own Voters" by Restricting Mail-in Ballots

    Democrats and voting advocacy groups have filed lawsuits against President Trump’s sweeping new executive order to limit mail-in voting ahead of this year’s midterm elections. “This is clearly an attempt for the president to pick his own voters,” says Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, who is legally challenging Trump’s order. Voting rights experts have decried the order as an unconstitutional attempt by Trump to seize control of election administration from the states and Congress. It directs the Department of Homeland Security to create a “state citizenship list” and the U.S. Postal Service to mail ballots only to “verified” voters.

  • David Cole: U.S. War on Iran Is "Blatantly Illegal" Under U.S. & Int'l Law

  • Pam Bondi Fired as AG Despite Never Saying No to Trump: Law Prof. David Cole

    President Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi amid reports of his growing frustration with her failure to prosecute his political enemies and her handling of the Epstein files. Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general, was a Trump loyalist who openly heaped praise on the president and did away with the long-standing Department of Justice practice of maintaining political independence from the White House. “She came in and did the master’s bidding, and she did it poorly,” says David Cole, law professor at Georgetown University and former national legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union. Her firing comes just months after a heated congressional hearing in which she refused to apologize to Epstein survivors for the […]
