Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lawfare Daily: Why Immigrants are Challenging the Conditions of their Detention
Q: What are the main legal tools to challenge detention conditions?
Habeas petitions to seek release and injunctive or declaratory relief (often via class actions) to improve or stop deplorable conditions; however, universal injunctions have been limited by caselaw after Trump v. CASA, making broader relief harder.
Lawfare Archive: A Victory for Guatemalan Democracy
Q: Before we get into what happened after Arévalo wins, can you just give a brief overview of what you mean by lawfare and what it looked like in practice against Arévalo and Movimiento Semilla?
The prosecutors and courts pursued non-existent crimes, attempted to suspend the party, and used legal mechanisms to undermine the electoral victory, with actions like seeking to strip immunities and challenging party status, all framed as constitutional enforcement though widely viewed as anti-democratic pressure.
Lawfare Daily: The Jan. 6 Pardonee Crime Wave with Katherine Pompilio
Q: What is your takeaway if you zoom out to the big picture of these pardoned individuals and subsequent crimes?
Her takeaway is that this is likely just the beginning, and that more cases will surface as records are tracked over time, underscoring that pardoned individuals can still engage in serious wrongdoing and that public records should be maintained for accountability.
Lawfare Daily: The Jan. 6 Pardonee Crime Wave with Katherine Pompilio
Q: What was the state of the art before your count, and how does your 97 compare to prior estimates?
She recounts CREW's earlier count of 33-40 cases and explains that her 97 is a floor, not a ceiling, highlighting many cases that were previously missed due to data gaps, name ambiguities, and the difficulty of linking crimes to pardoned individuals.
Lawfare Daily: The Jan. 6 Pardonee Crime Wave with Katherine Pompilio
Q: So Katherine, how did you look at the crew report that had 33 J6ers who had broken bad after J6 and say you bet they're undercounting this?
Katherine explains that she has tracked individuals involved in January 6 prosecutions for years, cross-referencing public records, local court documents, and hyperlocal reporting to build a much larger, more nuanced dataset that includes prosecutions and convictions beyond the initial 1,500 figure, and includes a spectrum from traffic offenses to serious felonies.
