When the president overreaches in his assertions of executive power, it’s imperative that our other institutions—Congress and the courts—stand up for due process and the rule of law. And, in a democracy like ours, it’s imperative that We, the People, hold our government to account when it falls short. In this case, holding our government to account includes ensuring that unaccompanied immigrant children continue to receive access to legal services. As the Trump administration moves to prioritize unaccompanied children for deportation, these kids will need lawyers to ensure that they have a fighting chance to have what we all want for our own kids—safety, security, and a chance to thrive as they grow up."     [ READ MORE ](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/03/trump-immigration-deportation-children-trafficking.html) ![gary galperin](https://go.yu.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/12.Gary%20Galperin-15-ret-flat-crop.jpg?width=2000&height=2000&name=12.Gary%20Galperin-15-ret-flat-crop.jpg) ### Gary Galperin #### Bloomberg #### [Luigi Mangione’s Defense to Hinge on Mindset, Emotion, Evidence](https://news.bloomberglaw.com/before-the-bar/luigi-mangiones-defense-to-hinge-on-mindset-emotion-evidence) "Second-degree murder can be elevated if there is evidence the defendant intended to terrorize a wide group of people and not just his victim.

Compensation is commonly the motivating factor behind a work stoppage. I think Costco's response to immediately grant the salary increases to everybody is in some way to lessen that chatter and to say, 'Well, you don't need the Teamsters. We'll take good care of you. Trust us to do the right thing.' Now, the Teamsters are in a position where they have to get more than what the non-unionized would get."
