About this episode
Lawsuits against the Trump administration are coming down left and right in Chicago, leading to blocks against National Guard deployment and orders that ICE can’t tear-gas journalists and peaceful protesters. But the president has shown he’s looking to get around the law in any way he can, which has us wondering: Do these lawsuits even matter? Host Jacoby Cochran talks with ACLU-Illinois’ Ed Yohnka about the efficacy of legal challenges and how to put their know-your-rights guides into practice.
