A colleague is sending out these notices of podcasts that he has watched
and thinks are useful.

The Bi-Partisan Policy Institute’s This Week in Immigration pod, like all
good immigration podcasts, addresses What Would a New Birthright
Citizenship Rule Mean for U.S. Parents?
<https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-194-what-would-a-new-birthright-citizenship-rule/id1321658702?i=1000706677125>
(5/7/25,
65m). “Immigration attorney and MacArthur Fellow Margaret Stock . . .
discusses the challenges U.S. parents could face under the order and the
potential financial and legal burdens it would create.” Margaret always has
a lot of helpful things to say, and is always generous in responding to
questions about immigration and the military. “Then, Jacob Hamburger,
Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at Cornell, joins to talk about how the
policy could strain state and local governments that issue birth
certificates and the broader federalism issues it raises.” New kid on the
block. Welcome. I’ll be cueing up his new paper on Voice Dream, The
Consequences of Ending Birthright Citizenship
<https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5106022>.

The Immigration Crisis: The Fight for the Southern Border podcast. Military
Lines Redrawn: Trump Administration finds new way to secure the border
<https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/military-lines-redrawn-trump-administration-finds-new/id1624986620?i=1000706887717>
(5/8/25,
31m). They interviewed Lt. Colonel Geoffrey Corn, George R. Killam Jr.
Chair of Criminal Law and Director of the Center for Military Law and
Policy at Texas Tech University. “This episode dives into the creative use
of legal loopholes, risks to civil liberties, and the narrative framing the
border as a battlefield.” Helpful insights on how expanding the size of
military bases on the border does an end-run around the Posse Comitatus
statute, a federal law that prohibits the U.S. military from enforcing
civilian laws.

The conservative legal minds of Sarah Isgur and David French behind the
podcast Advisory Opinions address The Arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan
<https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-arrest-of-judge-hannah-dugan/id1490993194?i=1000705372533>
(4/29/25.
20 minutes between minute 28 and minute 48), the Wisconsin judge arrested
by ICE on allegations of two crimes: obstructing a federal government
proceeding <https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1505> and concealing
an individual to avoid arrest
<https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1071>. Cesar Garcia Hernandez
also did a helpful job of dissecting the charges on his Substack (again,
whatever that is), Federal Agents Arrest State Judge
<https://ccgh.substack.com/p/federal-agents-arrest-state-judge?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=27ry6x&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email>
 (4/25/25).

Okay, one more Pope Leo pod. Again from the Jesuitical
<https://www.americamagazine.org/jesuiticalshow> podcast, What Pope Leo
XIV's speedy election means for the Catholic Church
<https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-pope-leo-xivs-speedy-election-means-for-the/id1210902931?i=1000706985771>
(5/9/25,
25m). More positive comments about his views on immigration. I’ll take this
opportunity to plug a Rome conference put together by Michele Pistone at
Villanova: Refugees and Migrants in our Common Home: Mobilizing Academic
Communities <https://migrationandacademia.org/> (Oct. 1-3). Guess who the
scheduled keynote speaker was scheduled to be?

*New Podcast. *Immigration Invasion
<https://open.spotify.com/show/69E5nTwJKMZaWKAQEeg4WC>. (4/22/25 53m).  A
new podcast that needs some seasoning. This week, I listened to an
interview with Kevin A. Gregg of Immigration Review
<https://www.kktplaw.com/immigration-review-podcast/cases-discussed-on-the-immigration-review-podcas/>
(one
of my weekly must listens). Perhaps because it was covering “old news” by
the time I listened to it for the first time, I wasn’t into it so much.
With 18m left, the host Robert Armstrong did raise the most fascinating
question of the interview: “What the f*** is immigration law?” The answers
left me wanting more metaphysical reflection. Is it just the Immigration
and Nationality Act and the Code of Federal regulations and relevant case
law? Must immigration attorneys add to their toolkits mandamus and habeas
corpus? Is it the Alien Enemies Act? The given answers left me with
uncooked food for thought.
