Bennett L. Gershman, a prosecutorial ethics expert at �鶹ֱ�� law school, said making such statements after acquittals is wrong. “That’s highly improper for a prosecutor after a jury has acquitted you to suggest you lied,” Gershman said. “Prosecutors can’t do that, because that erodes our confidence, our trust in the system. It’s really a very dangerous thing to do.”

�鶹ֱ�� political scientist George Picoulas said the border issue has emerged as a wedge issue that the Democrats need to address. “People’s minds and impressions take time to change,” he said. “Biden and the Democrats must confront the immigration issue, especially when cities are seeing a huge wave coming.

We’re proud to have been a part of this project and are excited to continue that work. I want to thank Mayor Adams, Governor Hochul, and the amazing community leaders like Rosa Chang who made this possible.”

In addition, federal courts have already shown a willingness to brush aside Chevron, said Josh Galperin, an assistant professor of law at �鶹ֱ��. The Supreme Court hasn’t relied on the doctrine since 2016. “Chevron has become less of a rule of law and more of a loose standard that the courts don’t feel obligated to adhere to,” Galperin said.
