I'm John Batchew with Professor John Yu of the University of Texas and Civitas Institute,

0:09.7

writing to the National Review online with his colleague Robert Meldalhunting about

0:13.4

Venezuelan suspects of being members of a violent gang, Trendyaraguagua, which has links to the regime in Caracas,

0:23.9

in this country committing violent acts, or not being related to violent acts, being deported by the Trump administration,

0:31.7

Department of Homeland Security, and court initially stepped in an appeals court saying, stop.

0:37.5

Now the Supreme Court has said, no, we stop the stop.

One is from Winston Churchill, right?

1:26.4

And I think he was asked, so maybe after the Battle of El Alamein, whether this was the beginning of the end. And he said, this is not the beginning of the end. It is the end of the beginning. And so all of these cases, everything that's happened, are like preliminary skirmishes. The Supreme Court vacated the trial

1:46.4

judge and Judge Henderson's opinion in the lower court, which I think too early in the process

1:53.2

decided this is not an invasion. The law doesn't apply. We will not defer at all to President

The court just wiped that out and said, start over.
