Podcast #9: Taking on Trump's Muslim Ban in Court

Trump Watch Sussex

How have lawyers challenged Trump's legal ban and how do they continue to contest his immigration policies in US courts? In this episode, Dr. Anne-Marie Angelo of the University of Sussex talks to Emily Newhouse Dillingham, an attorney at the law firm of Arnold & Porter who has played a key role in this litigation. Dillingham was present on the ground at Chicago O'Hare airport in 2017 when the Muslim Ban was rolled out and played a part in representing those affected by the ban and in later litigation around Trump's immigration policies. The episode discusses the litigation strategies and experiences of lawyers in challenging this ban as well as the ongoing legal efforts to fight for immigrant rights.
