0:00.0	Major legal news this week, we're going to break it all down for everybody.
0:05.0	Abrago Garcia back in the United States under an indictment for human trafficking and conspiracy to commit human trafficking.
0:14.0	One of the most embarrassing detention hearings I've ever seen from the perspective of the Department of Justice trying to
0:21.7	indefinitely hold the Brago Garcia in detention. They literally had the United States attorney
0:27.9	for the Middle District of Tennessee conduct the proceedings. He said that he drew the short straw
0:35.3	like he didn't even really want to be there. And it was just obvious that he was relying on just these cooperating witnesses who were not reliable at all.
0:44.3	We'll see what happens, but it definitely showed the importance of due process.
0:48.3	I want to break down everything that took place there.
0:51.3	Then we'll talk about Donald Trump's federalizing of the National Guard,
0:55.9	the ruling by a federal judge in the Northern District of California, Judge Breyer, who blocked
1:03.2	Donald Trump from utilizing, federalizing the National Guard under 10 U.S.C. 12406, finding that the specific statute and the

1:44.8	We'll talk about what we expect is going to happen. Donald Trump lost his appeal before the
1:51.5	full panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeal in the E. Gene Carroll Sexual Assault case.
1:57.0	Yes, that case is still working its way through the Court of Appeals. There were two judges
2:02.9	who were in the dissent there, and I think it was an eight to two opinion. We'll break that down.
2:09.2	I guess it potentially goes to the Supreme Court next, although I'll get your thoughts, Popak,
2:13.5	if you think that that's going to be a case that the Supreme Court even takes, but who knows
