Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to review the FBI search warrant executed at the Fulton County Elections Operations Center in Georgia, the implications for election integrity, odd things about the case, and how it relates to MAGA conspiracy theories surrounding the integrity of the 2020 election. Then, the #Sisters discuss the civil rights investigation of the Pretti shooting taking place in Minnesota, other recent legal developments concerning ICE, and chilling instances of journalists being targeted in spite of press freedom. They also review a lawsuit against the government by the families of men killed in the recent Venezuelan boat strikes and explain the relevance of the Death on the High Seas Act and the Alien Tort Statute.
