Summary
First, they react to the whiplash of the U.S. Supreme Court initially staying the Texas legislation allowing the state to arrest and deport illegal aliens, then allowing the law to into effect, and now an appellate court putting it on hold again due to another challenge. Andy explains why the legal gears grind slowly and why the issue should not ideally be decided by the courts.
Next, they dig into legislation that would ban "foreign adversary-controlled applications." The immediate goal is to ban TikTok or force its parent company to sever ties with the Chinese Communist Party. The app is Chinese spyware and also fills the minds of young people with poisonous ideas. But is the currebt legislation the best vehicle to make that happen or does it potentially threaten the speech rights of American citizens?
Finally, they explore the horrifying trend of homeowners finding squatters living in their houses. The squatters have no lease or any other legal justification to be there but the laws in New York and other places make it extremely difficult for property owners to have the intruders removed.

| 0:40.0 | And Andy, another wide variety of legal issues for us to tackle here today, right up your alley. |

| 0:50.8 | that would allow Texas officials to round up and deport illegals that come |
| 0:55.8 | across since the conclusion there, and I think it's an accurate one, is that the federal government's |
| 1:00.0 | not doing its job. |
| 1:01.8 | We've seen states in the federal government but heads on this |
| 1:03.9 | before, most notably in Arizona a little over a decade ago. The Supreme Court at |
| 1:07.3 | that time, different complexion of the court of course, cited largely with the |
| 1:11.1 | federal government. The Constitution does give the feds jurisdiction over this. |
| 1:15.0 | So the question is, what do you do and what power to the states have |
