Episode 50: The Legality of the New TX Immigration Laws and Trump’s Immunity

Texas just enacted legislation to criminalize illegal immigration into Texas. The rule imposes fines and jail time on those convicted of these crimes. However, the Department of Justice just sued Texas, saying that Texas, as an individual state, cannot enact and impose separate and additional laws and sanctions on immigration that add to or contradict those imposed by the federal government. Find out from our Constitution and constitutional law experts whether the law is actually unconstitutional, and if so, why, as well as how the immigration issues are currently impacting Congress through proposed impeachment proceedings against the Secretary of Homeland Security.

In this episode, we also discuss the most recent legal briefs by Trump's team in the DC appellate court regarding his claims of presidential immunity and why we think that the U.S. President cannot be completely immune from prosecution. We then provide updates on the Supreme Court's acceptance of Colorado's 14th Amendment disqualification of Trump on its primary ballots.

Grab a glass of wine and join our legal team for a great discussion to kick of 2024 with the hottest legal topics from the first week of January 2024.
