Episode 37: Enemy Combatants, Agents of Foreign Powers




The National Security Law Podcast show

Summary: In this week’s episode, Professors Chesney and Vladeck explore three big national security law developments from the past few days.<br> First up: the news that the FISC, on two separate occasions, issued orders authorizing surveillance of Paul Manafort’s communications.<br> Second: the news late last week that an as-yet-unnamed American citizen fighting for the Islamic State in Syria is now in US military custody and being held as an enemy combatant.<br> And third: an update on the travel-ban litigation as it moves into the Supreme Court.<br> All this, plus a random smattering of frivolous commentary on everything from the UT-USC game to the new Star Trek series.  (I know, I know, but they just insist on that stuff…don’t let it deter you from listening to the parts of the show when they actually know what they are talking about)!<br>
