Good morning and welcome to another edition of Amicus: A Law Review with Jim Santelle. To begin this episode, Jim dives into the latest legal battles and court rulings shaping American and international landscapes. Jim provides updates with what is changing with the judicial elections in Mexico and then Santelle critiques the Supreme Court's shadow docket decisions, allowing the Trump administration to deport 500,000 immigrants, challenging humanitarian protections.

Kicking off the second hour of the program, Jim highlights Harvard University standing strong against the President’s attempts to block international students, with federal judges siding with academia. The show also brings attention to Secretary of State Marco Rubio targeting Chinese students, and threatening to revoke their visas.

Finally, the show shares this week's "Injunction Function", unraveling a hidden provision in the congressional spending bill that could strip judges of their power to enforce orders without imposing costly bonds, raising alarms about judicial independence and the rule of law.
