Latest / Bloomberg Law / SCOTUS Okays Quick Deportations & Heated Hearing for Emil Bove
Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Law with June Grossel from Bloomberg Radio.
- 0:08Speaker 1: This week, the Supreme Court, divided down ideological lines, gave
- 0:13Speaker 1: the Trump administration the ok to resume quickly deporting migrants
- 0:18Speaker 1: to countries other than their own, lifting a judge's order
- 0:22Speaker 1: that gave them notice and a chance to argue that
- 0:24Speaker 1: they would be at risk of torture. Over a scathing
- 0:28Speaker 1: descent from the court's three liberals, the court's conservatives granted
- 0:32Speaker 1: an emergency request from the administration, joining me is Alara Mukherjee,
- 0:37Speaker 1: a professor at Columbia Law School who directs the school's
- 0:40Speaker 1: immigrants rights clinic. I Laura tell us about the judge's
- 0:44Speaker 1: order that the Trump administration was appealing on an emergency basis.
- 0:50Speaker 2: A federal district court judged in Massachusetts was concerned that
- 0:54Speaker 2: people would be deported to countries third countries where they
- 0:59Speaker 2: would be tortured, where they would be persecuted, where they
- 1:02Speaker 2: might die and be killed. And what the judge did
- 1:07Speaker 2: is require that before non citizens if the United States
- 1:11Speaker 2: be deported to countries that are not their home countries,
- 1:15Speaker 2: countries that they are not nationals of, that the US
- 1:18Speaker 2: government provides them an opportunity to contest and explain why
- 1:23Speaker 2: they shouldn't be deported to that country. So that is
- 1:26Speaker 2: called a credible fear interview process. And the judge held
- 1:31Speaker 2: that people must get at least fifteen days to challenge
- 1:34Speaker 2: their deportations to countries where they fear torture and persecution.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Why are these non citizens not being sent to their
- 1:44Speaker 1: home countries? Why is the government trying to send them
- 1:47Speaker 1: to third countries?
- 1:49Speaker 2: The Trump administration would like the ability, the power, the
- 1:53Speaker 2: authorization to deport people to third countries when their home
- 1:57Speaker 2: governments won't take them back. The men in these case
- 2:01Speaker 2: hail from various countries including Me and mar Laos, Vietnam, Cuba,
- 2:06Speaker 2: and Mexico, and some of these governments actually do take
- 2:10Speaker 2: back their own nationals, but the Trump administration would like
- 2:14Speaker 2: sweeping authority to deport people basically to anywhere in the world.
- 2:18Speaker 1: The government made an emergency request to the Supreme Court.
- 2:23Speaker 1: What did they argue?
- 2:25Speaker 2: The Executive branch argued to the Supreme Court that the
- 2:28Speaker 2: lower court order interfered with their ability to deport nationals
- 2:33Speaker 2: to third countries. And the Supreme Court sided with the
- 2:39Speaker 2: executive branch in that case and blocked the lower court
- 2:42Speaker 2: order that required fifteen days notice before individuals could be
- 2:47Speaker 2: deported to countries other than their own.
- 2:50Speaker 1: So the six conservatives granted this without any opinion. Can
- 2:55Speaker 1: we assume they bought the government's argument?
- 2:58Speaker 2: Then I think that's affair reading of the unreasoned order
- 3:03Speaker 2: issued by the Supreme Court. It's worth noting that three
- 3:08Speaker 2: justices dissented from the opinion and accused the conservative majority
- 3:14Speaker 2: of quote unquote, rewarding lawlessness.
- 3:17Speaker 1: So Justice Sonya Sotomayor, who wrote that dissent, said that
- 3:22Speaker 1: the administration had twice violated the Court's orders in this case.
- 3:28Speaker 1: The Conservatives just ignored that. And does that send a
- 3:32Speaker 1: message to the Trump administration that they can violate court orders?
- 3:37Speaker 2: Yes, this sends a message to the Trump administration that
- 3:40Speaker 2: the Supreme Court is willing to turn a blind eye
- 3:43Speaker 2: to the executive branch's flouting of federal court orders. Justice
- 3:48Speaker 2: Soto Mayor recognized in her opinion that the government had
- 3:51Speaker 2: removed six people to South Sudan with less than sixteen
- 3:55Speaker 2: hours notice, without any opportunity to contact their lawyers or
- 4:00Speaker 2: be heard in court. And it is lawlessness. As Justice
- 4:05Speaker 2: Sodomyor wrote, quote this is not the first time the
- 4:09Speaker 2: Court closes its eyes to non compliance, nor I fear
- 4:13Speaker 2: will it be the last? End quote.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Doesn't this conflict with the decision in April, where the
- 4:19Speaker 1: Court said that the government has to give people a
- 4:22Speaker 1: reasonable time to challenge their deportations.
- 4:26Speaker 2: The April case was in the context of a different
- 4:29Speaker 2: set of laws. It was in the context of the
- 4:32Speaker 2: President invoking the Alien Enemies Act, and in that case,
- 4:37Speaker 2: the Court held that individuals who were subject to the
- 4:41Speaker 2: Alien Enemies Act needed to first be given notice that
- 4:46Speaker 2: they would be subject to the Alien Enemies Act and
- 4:49Speaker 2: then a meaningful opportunity to file a habeas petition. But
- 4:54Speaker 2: what that meaningful period of time is is not resolved
- 4:59Speaker 2: by US Supreme Court. That issue is currently being litigated
- 5:04Speaker 2: in lower courts across the country where the Executive branch
- 5:08Speaker 2: has invoked the Alien Enemies Act against Venezuelan nationals who
- 5:13Speaker 2: are accused of being members of STRA in the Aragua
- 5:16Speaker 2: Criminal Gang.
- 5:17Speaker 1: The Trump administration returned to the Supreme Court yesterday in
- 5:22Speaker 1: the case of those eight men and wants to deport
- 5:25Speaker 1: to South Sudan. So tell us what's happening there?
- 5:29Speaker 2: So, after the Supreme Court issued its ruling. On Monday,
- 5:34Speaker 2: the Federal District judge issued another order saying that a
- 5:39Speaker 2: previous order in his case protected a group of men
- 5:43Speaker 2: from being deported to South Sudan. The Executive Branch then
- 5:47Speaker 2: filed a motion to clarify the Court's June twenty third
- 5:51Speaker 2: opinion on June twenty fourth, and that motion has now
- 5:56Speaker 2: been fully briefed as of today, June twenty fifth, and
- 6:00Speaker 2: we will see what the Court does next.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Is it a problem because the Court is issuing these
- 6:07Speaker 1: rulings this time without any opinion at all on the
- 6:10Speaker 1: emergency docket, where they're not fully briefed, and so is
- 6:14Speaker 1: it hard to interpret what they mean?
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yes, the Supreme Court's shadow docket has exploded in recent
- 6:23Speaker 2: years and especially in recent months, and the Supreme Court
- 6:27Speaker 2: is taking sweeping actions on the shadow docket that have
- 6:33Speaker 2: just in the last eight weeks deprived more than eight
- 6:36Speaker 2: hundred thousand non citizens of their legal status in the
- 6:41Speaker 2: United States. This current case that we're discussing now, DVD,
- 6:46Speaker 2: is another example of the Supreme Court making extremely consequential
- 6:51Speaker 2: decisions on the shadow docket without the benefit of full
- 6:55Speaker 2: briefing and arguments.
- 6:57Speaker 1: What does it mean on the ground. I mean, how
- 6:59Speaker 1: many people might be affected by this order.
- 7:04Speaker 2: That's a really good question. The Executive Branch wants to
- 7:09Speaker 2: implement third country deportations on a sweeping basis. It's one
- 7:15Speaker 2: of the pillars of their effort to deport one million
- 7:19Speaker 2: people from the United States this year. I think it's
- 7:24Speaker 2: fair to expect that thousands of people could be subject
- 7:29Speaker 2: to third country deportations under the Supreme Court's ruling on Monday.
- 7:35Speaker 1: This is a temporary order while the litigation continues. What's
- 7:39Speaker 1: left of that litigation So.
- 7:42Speaker 2: To date, the judge has only issued preliminary injunctions, that
- 7:47Speaker 2: is a form of temporary relief. The full case hasn't
- 7:51Speaker 2: been presented to the court. There hasn't been a trial
- 7:54Speaker 2: before the court yet. The judge doesn't have all the
- 7:57Speaker 2: evidence needed in the case to issue a final decision. Typically,
- 8:03Speaker 2: a federal district court will rule on all the evidence
- 8:07Speaker 2: in the case and then issue a final injunction. Then
- 8:10Speaker 2: the case would be heard by a federal Court of Appeals,
- 8:14Speaker 2: and then the Supreme Court would take up the matter.
- 8:17Speaker 2: It's a process of litigation that can easily take years,
- 8:21Speaker 2: so it's extremely unusual that the Supreme Court intervened in
- 8:25Speaker 2: this case. At such an early stage.
- 8:29Speaker 1: In the government's filing, the Solicitor General assured the court
- 8:35Speaker 1: that under the Convention against Torture, the administration will not
- 8:39Speaker 1: remove an alien to any country where he's likely to
- 8:43Speaker 1: be tortured. Does that deserve any credence.
- 8:46Speaker 2: When it's coming from the same government that is trying
- 8:49Speaker 2: to deport people to South Dudan with less than sixteen
- 8:53Speaker 2: hours notice, that claim seems meaningless.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Is there a question of what what the Trump administration
- 9:02Speaker 1: is doing violates the Convention against Torture.
- 9:05Speaker 2: The US government is a signatory to the Convention against Torture.
- 9:10Speaker 2: We as a nation will not support people to countries
- 9:13Speaker 2: where they are more likely than not to face torture.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Deporting people to South Sudan with less than sixteen hours
- 9:21Speaker 2: notice raises a very high risk that the US government
- 9:26Speaker 2: is deporting people to a country where they will face torture.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Another escalation, the Trump administration has sued all the judges
- 9:36Speaker 1: on the Maryland Federal Trial Court over a standing order
- 9:41Speaker 1: that prevents the government from deporting a person for two
- 9:44Speaker 1: business days after a Habeast challenge is filed. Two business
- 9:49Speaker 1: days doesn't seem like a long time. What is the
- 9:51Speaker 1: rush with all these cases?
- 9:54Speaker 2: The executive branch seeks to extend its power well beyond
- 9:59Speaker 2: the of checks and balances set up in the US Constitution,
- 10:04Speaker 2: and it is breaking our constitutional democracy. This is most
- 10:09Speaker 2: evident in the immigration space and the lawless actions the
- 10:13Speaker 2: executive branch is taking there, and it is exemplified by
- 10:18Speaker 2: this case that is pending now in the District of Maryland,
- 10:21Speaker 2: where the executive branch is suing federal judges for simply
- 10:26Speaker 2: trying to afford them due process before individuals can be
- 10:31Speaker 2: deported out of this country.
- 10:33Speaker 1: In the order from the Maryland court, it says that
- 10:36Speaker 1: it's a response to an increase in habeas petitions filed
- 10:41Speaker 1: outside of normal business hours from immigrants facing imminent deportation.
- 10:47Speaker 2: People including children, are being picked up off the streets
- 10:53Speaker 2: at courthouses outside of school and being swept into a
- 10:57Speaker 2: process that could very rapidly lead to their deportation, and
- 11:02Speaker 2: federal habeas petitions are among the last bulwarks to protect
- 11:07Speaker 2: people's due process right and afford them an opportunity to
- 11:12Speaker 2: prove why they should be allowed to stay in the
- 11:15Speaker 2: United States, why it's unlawful to summarily deport them.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me a Laura. That's Professor Laura Mokerjee
- 11:22Speaker 1: of Columbia Law School. Coming up next on the Bloomberg
- 11:26Speaker 1: Law Show. President Trump's pick to sit on the Third
- 11:30Speaker 1: Circuit Court of Appeals gets a heated confirmation hearing. I'm
- 11:35Speaker 1: June Grasso, and you're listening to Bloomberg. President Trump's pick
- 11:41Speaker 1: for a New Jersey based seat on the US Court
- 11:44Speaker 1: of Appeals for the Third Circuit is his former criminal
- 11:47Speaker 1: defense lawyer, Emil beauvet a former federal prosecutor in the
- 11:51Speaker 1: Southern District of New York. He was on Trump's legal
- 11:55Speaker 1: team during his New York hush money trial and defended
- 11:58Speaker 1: Trump in the two federal criminal cases brought by the
- 12:02Speaker 1: Justice Department. Beauveay now serves as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney
- 12:08Speaker 1: in the Justice Department and has been at the forefront
- 12:11Speaker 1: of some of the most contentious Justice Department actions since
- 12:15Speaker 1: Trump's return to the White House, including the dismissal of
- 12:19Speaker 1: the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams,
- 12:23Speaker 1: ordering the firings of a group of prosecutors involved in
- 12:26Speaker 1: the January sixth criminal cases, and accusing FBI officials of
- 12:31Speaker 1: insubordination for refusing to hand over the names of agents
- 12:36Speaker 1: who investigated the US Capital Riot. Democrats on the Senate
- 12:40Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee Grille Beauvet over those incidents, as well as
- 12:44Speaker 1: a whistleblower's allegations that Beauvay had suggested at a March
- 12:49Speaker 1: meeting that the government lawyers ignore court orders against the
- 12:53Speaker 1: Trump administration's deportation policies. Here's Democratic Senator Adam Schiff of
- 12:59Speaker 1: Californifornia questioning Beauvea.
- 13:02Speaker 3: In the complaint, it says Beauvey stated that DOJ would
- 13:07Speaker 3: need to consider telling the courts and ignoring any such
- 13:10Speaker 3: court order. Did you say anything of that kind in the.
- 13:14Speaker 4: Meeting, Senator, I have no recollection of saying anything of
- 13:19Speaker 4: that kind to the extent I should.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Recall, mister bouve if you said or suggested during a
- 13:24Speaker 3: meeting with Justice Department lawyers maybe they should consider telling
- 13:28Speaker 3: the court to you. It seems to me that would
- 13:30Speaker 3: be something you'd remember, unless that's the kind of thing
- 13:33Speaker 3: you say frequently.
- 13:35Speaker 4: Well, I've certainly said things encouraging litigators at the Department
- 13:39Speaker 4: to fight hard for valid positions that we have to
- 13:42Speaker 4: take into it and if you frequently, I did not
- 13:45Speaker 4: suggest that there would be any need to consider ignoring
- 13:49Speaker 4: court orders. At the point of that meeting, there were
- 13:51Speaker 4: no court orders to discuss.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Well, did you suggest telling the courts you in any manner?
- 13:58Speaker 1: I don't recall joining me is Bloomberg Lawn Judiciary reporter
- 14:02Speaker 1: Suzanne Mognac. Suzanne, it appears that this confirmation hearing got
- 14:08Speaker 1: quite heated.
- 14:09Speaker 5: It was heated in some respects. I certainly the Judiciary
- 14:11Speaker 5: Committee gets heated pretty often, so I can't say it's
- 14:14Speaker 5: the most heated hearing I've seen. I think a lot
- 14:16Speaker 5: of the grilling was what we more or less expected
- 14:18Speaker 5: it to be. I mean, Emil Bouvet, you know, really
- 14:21Speaker 5: emerges a pretty controversial candidate for this seat and someone
- 14:24Speaker 5: that we've really seen Democrats rally against. And in recent
- 14:27Speaker 5: we've seen months, we've seen quite a bit of reporting
- 14:29Speaker 5: in the news, and by recently just this week, a
- 14:31Speaker 5: whistleblower making some pretty serious allegations against him, and so
- 14:35Speaker 5: those were all things that we saw Democrats really pressed
- 14:37Speaker 5: him on. But I generally did see that the nominee
- 14:40Speaker 5: kind of kept his composure and and did answer the
- 14:42Speaker 5: questions and in some insuses didn't answer the questions, but
- 14:45Speaker 5: most of the fire was coming from the side of
- 14:47Speaker 5: the senators.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Tell us about the questions that related to the whistle
- 14:50Speaker 1: blower and allegations that Beauvey suggested ignoring court orders.
- 14:56Speaker 5: Earlier this week, just one day before the hearing, we
- 14:59Speaker 5: had a blower complaint made public by a former Justice
- 15:02Speaker 5: Department lawyer than the Department for over a decade, or Azravenni,
- 15:06Speaker 5: who alleged that Emil Bovie had in a meeting in
- 15:09Speaker 5: March suggested that Justice Department lawyers actually ignore a court
- 15:12Speaker 5: ruling against the administration's deportation policy if they were to
- 15:16Speaker 5: receive one. That's a charge that Bobe was asked about
- 15:19Speaker 5: quite a few times during the hearings, and one that
- 15:21Speaker 5: he pretty blatantly denied. He said that he has never
- 15:24Speaker 5: advised the DOJ lawyer to violate a court order and
- 15:26Speaker 5: that what was said about him should not disqualify him
- 15:29Speaker 5: for the judgeship. That's also been the statement we've gotten
- 15:31Speaker 5: from other Justice Department officials when the whistle blower complaint
- 15:34Speaker 5: was first made public, to say absolutely not that didn't happen,
- 15:37Speaker 5: but that was certainly a scene that we saw come
- 15:39Speaker 5: up quite a few times during Democrats questioning both.
- 15:42Speaker 1: A is probably most well known as the Justice Department
- 15:47Speaker 1: official who moved to dismiss the corruption charges against New
- 15:52Speaker 1: York City Mayor Eric Adams, leading to mass resignations at
- 15:56Speaker 1: the Justice Department. I take it there was a lot
- 15:59Speaker 1: of quests about that.
- 16:01Speaker 5: Absolutely. That initially was maybe one of the ways that
- 16:03Speaker 5: he was most infamous on the Hill was for his
- 16:05Speaker 5: directive to dismiss coruption charges against the New York City
- 16:09Speaker 5: mayor that led to resignations of high profile prosecutors in
- 16:12Speaker 5: New York and Washington, including the US attorneys for the
- 16:15Speaker 5: Southern District of New York, who resigned rather than carry
- 16:18Speaker 5: out that directive. That was obviously something that we saw
- 16:21Speaker 5: Democrats pressed Bovie about and he, you know, pretty much
- 16:24Speaker 5: defended that decision, and you felt that that, you know,
- 16:27Speaker 5: the dismissal was granted, so it must not have been,
- 16:30Speaker 5: you know, an extreme position. He denied the idea that
- 16:32Speaker 5: it was political or any type of quid pro quo
- 16:35Speaker 5: in any way. Democrats didn't seem convinced that he did
- 16:38Speaker 5: maintain that line of denial on that accusation.
- 16:41Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, the judge in that case, Dale
- 16:45Speaker 1: Hole was critical of the Justice Department, and, contrary to
- 16:50Speaker 1: the Justice Department's contention that there was no quid pro quo,
- 16:55Speaker 1: said that everything in the case smacked of a bargain
- 16:59Speaker 1: dismissal of the indictment in exchange for immigration policy concessions.
- 17:05Speaker 1: I mean, he's done a lot in the Justice Department
- 17:08Speaker 1: in the short time he's been there. Was he the
- 17:10Speaker 1: one who decided to fire the prosecutors who worked on
- 17:14Speaker 1: the capital riot cases.
- 17:17Speaker 5: Yes, that was yet another charge that we really saw
- 17:19Speaker 5: brought up quite a bit by Democrats, was that he
- 17:22Speaker 5: had really, at the beginning of his tenure, while he
- 17:24Speaker 5: was still serving as the acting Deputy Attorney General for
- 17:27Speaker 5: the Justice Department at the second in command, he directed
- 17:30Speaker 5: then PC and a REMUS attorney Ed Martin, to fire
- 17:34Speaker 5: a number of prosecutors who had worked on capital riot cases,
- 17:38Speaker 5: the cases against participants in the January sixth, twenty twenty
- 17:41Speaker 5: one at the US Capitol during certification of that presidential election.
- 17:45Speaker 5: Those have been prosecutors who had not been in office
- 17:48Speaker 5: as long, which meant that they didn't have the same
- 17:50Speaker 5: level of protections and it was easier for them to
- 17:52Speaker 5: be fired, but it was something that was really heavily
- 17:55Speaker 5: criticized at the time by people who saw it as
- 17:58Speaker 5: retribution against career lawyers who were doing what they had
- 18:01Speaker 5: been asked to do. Again, Bovy denied that this was
- 18:04Speaker 5: any type of political or retributive decision and really maintained
- 18:08Speaker 5: that it was more of a personnel decision. He brought
- 18:11Speaker 5: up that the prosecutors had been hired to be temporary
- 18:15Speaker 5: and had been placed in a more permanent disposition by
- 18:18Speaker 5: the Biden administration toward the end of their term, and
- 18:20Speaker 5: that he didn't agree with that decision. So again just
- 18:23Speaker 5: really like maintained his position that the decisions that he
- 18:26Speaker 5: made that he was getting criticism for were not political.
- 18:29Speaker 1: What kind of questions did the Republican senators ask him
- 18:33Speaker 1: and did they try to sort of rehabilitate him?
- 18:37Speaker 5: You know, I think as his typical during these hearings,
- 18:39Speaker 5: you tend to get tougher questions from the opposing side
- 18:43Speaker 5: than you do from the side that nominated him. We
- 18:46Speaker 5: did get some interesting questions from as Senator Josh Howley
- 18:49Speaker 5: just done sort of how Bovey would be as a
- 18:52Speaker 5: judge and what his approach to judging would be kind
- 18:54Speaker 5: of separate from his past actions at the Justice Department.
- 18:59Speaker 5: Bove said that he was a textualist and that he
- 19:02Speaker 5: would really like consult the statutory statue, look at usages,
- 19:05Speaker 5: try to look at the legislation at the time, and
- 19:08Speaker 5: also indicated that he would be one to exercise restraint
- 19:11Speaker 5: and avoid inserting himself or declaring a definition of a
- 19:16Speaker 5: law that was ambiguous, and would more prefer to defer
- 19:19Speaker 5: back to Congress where language is ambiguous. So that kind
- 19:22Speaker 5: of gave us a bit of a window on the
- 19:23Speaker 5: more like technical judging side of things. How at least
- 19:26Speaker 5: he would see his own philosophy as a judge if
- 19:28Speaker 5: he were to be confirmed.
- 19:29Speaker 1: I believe there's a two person Republican majority on this committee.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Is there any indication that he won't get through this committee?
- 19:40Speaker 5: Not that I have heard so far, though of course
- 19:42Speaker 5: I always say with politics, never say never. We have
- 19:44Speaker 5: seen the occasional Trump nominee taken down. I think of
- 19:49Speaker 5: Martin from the DCUs Attorney's Office that I had mentioned
- 19:51Speaker 5: earlier as an example, is he lost the support of
- 19:54Speaker 5: one Republican member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and that
- 19:56Speaker 5: was enough to tank his nomination. But of course in
- 19:59Speaker 5: this inte and the blue split process whereby the majority
- 20:03Speaker 5: party would consider the home state senator's consent and approval
- 20:06Speaker 5: before moving forward to nominee, is no longer in effect
- 20:09Speaker 5: for Circuit court picks and Emmelsove of course, is nominated
- 20:13Speaker 5: for the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit,
- 20:15Speaker 5: So the opposition from the two Democrats who are the
- 20:18Speaker 5: two senators from New Jersey is not a problem for
- 20:20Speaker 5: his nomination to move forward. I did not hear any
- 20:24Speaker 5: opposition from Senate Republicans from what I observed during that hearing,
- 20:27Speaker 5: but we will have to see. I think at this
- 20:30Speaker 5: point it seems that there are no obstacles, but of
- 20:34Speaker 5: course he's facing a lot of opposition from Democrats and
- 20:37Speaker 5: some ethics complaints, So we'll have to see how he
- 20:39Speaker 5: moves forward.
- 20:39Speaker 1: And what can you tell us about those ethics complaints.
- 20:42Speaker 5: He's been subject to some ethics complaints, various complaints by
- 20:46Speaker 5: mostly Democrats and other critics, including to relate to his
- 20:49Speaker 5: conducts during the Eric Adams litigation.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Interesting that during his time as a federal prosecutor in
- 20:55Speaker 1: New York, Bovet was involved in several high profile cases,
- 21:01Speaker 1: but his actions apparently rankled some fellow prosecutors and defense attorneys.
- 21:07Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, the Federal Public Defender's Office compile complaints
