We Don't Need to Give Prosecutors More Tools
On this episode, Yvette brings back friend of the podcast and deportation defense lawyer Jehan Laner Romero to discuss the SCOTUS oral arguments in US v. Sineneng Smith. They discuss the ways in which SCOTUS would be unable to rewrite the INA "encouraging or inducing" provision without reaching beyond the court's authority, explain the canons of statutory interpretation and constitutional avoidance, and put a spotlight on the real "legal activists"--the Trump prosecutors-- at issue here.
