Harry Litman: I Think the Appeals Court Will Go Against the Trump Admin Saying We Have to Take Tom Homan at His Word

LITMAN Well there are ░░░░░░░░ basic issues about it ░░░░░░░░ and you re right ░░░░░░░░ Judge Millett who seems ░░░░░░░░ be a solid vote ░░░░░░░░ the administration She s ░░░░░░░░ 95 percent of the ░░░░░░░░ So the others it ░░░░░░░░ a little bit harder ░░░░░░░░ more Delphic But two ░░░░░░░░ One I want to ░░░░░░░░ I m not even ░░░░░░░░ member of this group ░░░░░░░░ ve got to give ░░░░░░░░ notice and opportunity to ░░░░░░░░ that And the quibble ░░░░░░░░ the administration is coming ░░░░░░░░ with is well we ░░░░░░░░ the five people who ░░░░░░░░ the named plaintiffs here ░░░░░░░░ never even deported them ░░░░░░░░ Millett is very dogged ░░░░░░░░ saying yeah but there ░░░░░░░░ all these other people ░░░░░░░░ s a class action ░░░░░░░░ sent them off And ░░░░░░░░ administration has basically got ░░░░░░░░ good response to that ░░░░░░░░ than saying they could ░░░░░░░░ done it a different ░░░░░░░░ and therefore this would ░░░░░░░░ been improper The other ░░░░░░░░ of questions is about ░░░░░░░░ Is it right to ░░░░░░░░ this is a predatory ░░░░░░░░ by a foreign country ░░░░░░░░ it needs to be ░░░░░░░░ the administration is taking ░░░░░░░░ very extreme view saying ░░░░░░░░ can t even ask ░░░░░░░░ question But it s ░░░░░░░░ clear that that issue ░░░░░░░░ have to be addressed ░░░░░░░░ order to deny the ░░░░░░░░ relief So right now ░░░░░░░░ really is the focus ░░░░░░░░ I need a notice ░░░░░░░░ opportunity to be heard ░░░░░░░░ you spirit me away ░░░░░░░░ the night And the ░░░░░░░░ really is what s ░░░░░░░░ with Thomas and Henderson ░░░░░░░░ other two people on ░░░░░░░░ panel 95 percent of ░░░░░░░░ has been Judge Millett ░░░░░░░░ Yeah To your point ░░░░░░░░ whether those folks have ░░░░░░░░ processed appropriately the administration ░░░░░░░░ has not given quite ░░░░░░░░ verbose an argument in ░░░░░░░░ courtroom as they have ░░░░░░░░ the court of public ░░░░░░░░ because border czar Tom ░░░░░░░░ says that every single ░░░░░░░░ on one of those ░░░░░░░░ was a member of ░░░░░░░░ or MS 13 while ░░░░░░░░ a lot of gang ░░░░░░░░ don t have criminal ░░░░░░░░ comparing them to suspected ░░░░░░░░ How do you think ░░░░░░░░ Appeals Court is going ░░░░░░░░ approach the issue of ░░░░░░░░ the government purports these ░░░░░░░░ actually were LITMAN Yeah ░░░░░░░░ think they re not ░░░░░░░░ to be too I ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ jaundiced at this view ░░░░░░░░ Tom Homan says well ░░░░░░░░ all were Take my ░░░░░░░░ for it Or even ░░░░░░░░ Trump although it s ░░░░░░░░ lower officials who are ░░░░░░░░ his order That s ░░░░░░░░ important point because it ░░░░░░░░ harder to enjoin the ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ re going to go ░░░░░░░░ it On this main ░░░░░░░░ and this ought to ░░░░░░░░ enough we ll see ░░░░░░░░ the other two judges ░░░░░░░░ but it ought to ░░░░░░░░ enough to deny the ░░░░░░░░ relief They re going ░░░░░░░░ say that s very ░░░░░░░░ and good that Tom ░░░░░░░░ has said that but ░░░░░░░░ doesn t that s ░░░░░░░░ due process that s ░░░░░░░░ notice and opportunity to ░░░░░░░░ heard And by the ░░░░░░░░ there are indications that ░░░░░░░░ they say mistakes were ░░░░░░░░ here So I think ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ nub of the matter ░░░░░░░░ on that point I ░░░░░░░░ the court will go ░░░░░░░░ the administration saying we ░░░░░░░░ you can t tell ░░░░░░░░ we have to take ░░░░░░░░ Homan s word for ░░░░░░░░
