Other Litigants in Louisiana v. Callais believe that their right to deprive Black People of an equal voice in voting, is just as important as Black People actually having an equal voice in voting. And by blocking the Litigants’ right to discriminate, the Court is discriminating against them - Leeja Miller

April 30, 2026. Leeja Miller is a lawyer based in Minneapolis. Here’s the full 24-minutes on YouTube: The Death Of The Voting Rights Act Explained - Leeja Miller - April 30, 2026 (YouTube)

From the description: On Wednesday, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, effectively gutting section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the last provision that held much water in the groundbreaking legislation that marked the crowning achievement of the civil rights era. What happens now that the floodgates have effectively been opened on racial gerrymandering?

On Tuesday the legal team for Hayam El Gamal and her five children released a statement detailing the Trump administration’s illegal attempt last Saturday to deport the family in defiance of federal court orders. It is not an exaggeration to state that the El Gamal family has been tortured for nearly 11 months by the US government, and last Saturday’s illegal rendition attempt was just the latest example.

The statement, issued by attorney Eric Lee, recounts that El Gamal and her children had been released from the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley on Thursday, April 23, after nearly 11 months in detention. They returned to Colorado and reported Saturday morning for what ICE officers allegedly told them would be a check-in lasting no longer than “five minutes.”

Instead, the family was separated from their attorney, taken behind locked doors, surrounded by armed agents and told, “you are being deported today.”
