Summary

Dina Doll (in for Popok) and Karen Friedman Agnifilo anchor the top-ranked law and politics podcast Legal AF, and break down this week’s biggest legal and political bombshells at the intersection of law and democracy, including: 1) new updates in the ongoing Epstein records saga as Trump goes 0 for 3, with a new federal judge striking down his grand jury nonsense; 2) the latest developments in the Abrego Garcia case, as the courts continue to confront Trump-era abuses of power; 3) a skeptical federal judge pressing back on Trump’s motion to disqualify all Maryland federal judges; 4) the looming ruling on Alina Habba’s motion, which could determine whether her appointment is deemed invalid—and so much more on the podcast that breaks down the legal chaos threatening our democracy.

0:00.0	Welcome to another midweek episode of Legal A.F. I am your co-host, Karen Friedman Agnifalo, and standing in again for Michael Popak is the amazing Dina Dahl, who is a regular legal AIF sub-in and also contributes to Midas Touch and the legal AAF channel. And Dina,
0:24.3	so happy to have you back. And it's always nice to be with you on this show. How are you doing?
0:29.5	How's California? How's your blue state? I'm in New York. Well, we'll talk about it a little bit more.
0:35.4	I know one of our topics touches on it, but I've
0:38.4	recently had something happen with one of these ice raids or, you know, I know a lot of people in
0:43.5	Los Angeles know somebody who is scared about getting grounded up with the ice raids and
0:48.4	somebody that I know very well, self-deported. Although I think we need to stop calling it self-deported.
0:53.9	He is a refugee.
0:55.3	He's an American refugee. He fled because he was afraid of what this government was going to do to

1:18.7	is going to happen to somebody they love or actually happening to somebody they love. Yeah,
1:23.4	it seems like they're enforcing it in blue states more than red states just to whip up the blue states, right?
1:31.3	And really punish the blue states and punish, frankly, the businesses in blue states.
1:35.9	Because really the businesses between the tariffs and the deportation of immigrants who are such a part of the fabric of our society and of our economy.
1:45.8	It's just crazy to me what's going to happen.
1:48.8	And, you know, they can do all they want with the blue states.
1:51.2	And, you know, it'll impact things like construction industries, farm industries,
1:55.8	things like that.
1:56.9	But what are they going to do?
1:58.5	Like, California is responsible for so much of the food chain, right?
