The Andrew Branca Show

SHOCKING Federal Judge Overreach!   Join me LIVE as I break down Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney's outrageous ruling in plain English.  Learn how this Biden-appointed judge is violating the separation of powers, misinterpreting the Alien Enemies Act, and blocking the removal of illegal Tren de Aragua terrorists from the US.  Don’t miss this critical discussion on judicial malfeasance and its impac...

Join me as I do a quick summary of today's live stream coverage of Day #001 of the Karen Read murder re-trial.

The federal lawsuits over the deportation of Tren de Aragua terrorists from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act proclamation sending TdA to the CECOT prison in El Salvador caught fire over the Easter weekend, with the Supreme Court issuing a 1AM order on Saturday stopping busloads of TdA from deportation, and Justice Alito and Thomas issuing a scorching dissent later that same day.  We’l...

The 4th Circuit court of appeals yesterday issued an order on MS-13 terrorist Abrego-Garcia that is absolutely horrific. It reads like a badly written soft-cover romance novel.  It is larded public policy aspirations that do not fall within the authority of the inferior trial courts, and imagines a speculative slippery slope that is nowhere to be found in the facts of the case before it.  All of t...

Judge Paula Xinis, presiding over the legally nonsensical case of MS-13 terrorist Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia in his current residence at the tropical El Salvadoran prison resort CECOT, has just ordered that Garcia is entitled to compel testimony from the Article II Executive Branch about it’s internal foreign affairs discussions. This is, of course, a grotesque violation of the separation of pow...

In this explosive video, we dive into the latest developments in the Abrego-Garcia deportation case, where the White House sharply rebukes Judge Paula Xinis’ absurd daily update demands for a terrorist detained in CECOT. We expose the Democrats’ propaganda campaign falsely claiming SCOTUS ordered Trump to return Abrego-Garcia to the U.S.—a blatant lie fueling a weak impeachment trap. Plus, we unco...

Join me as I watch the entirety of the broadcast of the meeting between President Donal Trump and El Salvador President Bukele in the Oval Office, where they discuss a variety of topics, including our good friend Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia’s current residence n the El Salvador prison resort of CECOT. Fair warning, I’ll also be testing out my new travel studio—in the office, before I hit the road...

President Trump’s legal team has been effectively exposing the insane ranting of Article III federal Judge Paula Xinis as she incompetently and lawlessly attempts to force the Article II Executive Branch to engage in foreign policy actions of her preference, for the purpose of compelling President Trump to return to the US Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia, a designated terrorist who has had a final or...

Unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior district trial Judge Paula Xinis is apparently suffering a Trump Derangement Syndrome-driven mental breakdown in the matter of the MS-13 terrorist Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia who has been deported to the El Salvador prison resort, CECOT. Judge Xinis' conduct from the bench yesterday can be characterized as little else but a TDS and estrogen-mediat...

BREAKING: Supreme Court Hands President Trump ANOTHER Major Victory!  The media and Trump critics are spinning yesterday’s SCOTUS ruling as a loss for Trump and a win for an MS-13 terrorist, Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia. But the truth? It’s a YUGE win for Trump and a devastating blow to their narrative!  In this LIVE breakdown, I dive into the Supreme Court’s ruling, debunking the lies from Distri...

In this live breakdown, we dive into the fatal stabbing of Karmelo Anthony by Austin Metcalf, exploring a fascinating legal question raised by a Law of Self Defense community member.  Was this a case of lawful self-defense, as Karmelo Anthony claims? Spoiler: The facts suggest not, pointing toward murder under Texas law.  Could "sudden passion" reduce it to voluntary manslaughter? Unlike...

TRUMP SCORES ANOTHER SUPREME COURT VICTORY!   In this explosive video, we dive into President Trump’s latest legal win involving the firing of two government officials—Gwynne Wilcox (National Labor Relations Board) and Cathy Harris (Merit Systems Protection Board).  After being fired, both women sued and secured reinstatement orders from Obama-appointed federal judges Beryl Howell (2010) and Rudol...

Three quick stories to cover with all of you in this show. First, Trump continues to stack wins, this time in a firing case involving 24,000 fired probationary federal employees and the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled yesterday to allow the firings to stand. Second, a senior deputy director of the ATF, having served 35 years in the agency, summarily departed yesterday afternoon hours aft...

In this explosive update, we dive back into the saga of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia—an illegal migrant from El Salvador, MS-13 terrorist, and now the center of a heated legal firestorm.  After sneaking into the U.S. in 2011, dodging a 2019 deportation order, and getting nabbed in March 2025, Abrego Garcia was shipped off to El Salvador’s CECOT facility.  Case closed? Not quite. His fiancé and a t...

In this episode, we dive into the latest clash between the judiciary and President Donald Trump’s administration. Maryland v. Dept. of Agriculture pits an Obama-appointed federal judge, James Bredar, against Trump’s Article II executive authority.  At issue? Trump’s firing of thousands of federal workers, which a coalition of states claims causes them "inconvenience."  Judge Bredar order...

Judge James Boasberg, who unlawfully seized control of the lawsuit against President Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation and lawlessly ordered flights deporting alien Tren de Aragua terrorists in international airspace to be turned around and returned to the United States, was checked hard yesterday by the Supreme Court in a 5 to 4 decision that found Boasberg never had the legal authority to h...

Just minutes ago the Supreme Court handed down a 5-4 ruling backing President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to summarily detain and deport TdA terrorists from the United States, crushing the flagrantly unconstitutional meddling of the black-robed, unelected, tyrannical inferior court Judge James Boasberg. Join me as we break down the SCOTUS ruling into plain English, and celebrate yet anoth...

Today President Trump scored yet ANOTHER YUGE win at the US Supreme Court, with Chief Justice John Roberts announcing that SCOTUS was acting to stay, or freeze, the order of leftie Federal Judge William Alsup that the President was to be compelled to hire back 16,000 fired executive branch employees. This follows on the two Supreme Court wins just yesterday, affirming Trump’s authority to deport T...

Last week 17-year-old Kamelo Anthony fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf, also 17-years old, as both were attending a Texas high school track meet, from different schools.  Anthony quickly fled the scene, discarded the knife in nearby bleachers.  He was shortly captured and arrested, conceded to the stabbing, and suggested he had killed Metcalf in self-defense. I covered this killing in some detail thi...

On April 2, 2025, a stabbing at a Texas high school track meet left 17-year-old Austin Metcalf dead and 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony has been charged with murder. Anthony reportedly admits to the stabbing but claims it was self-defense.  Austin Metcalf was white, and Karmelo Anthony is black.  So, was it murder—or a justified killing under Texas law? In this video, I break down the Texas legal requ...

The Supreme Court handed President a YUGE win against DEI racism, reversing lower court rulings that had ordered Trump to spend billions of tax payer dollars to perpetuate a corrupt and immoral systemic and institutionalized racist polices against straight white American men.  Remarkably, in this 5-4 decision Chief Justice John Roberts voted to allow the lower court's racist ruling to remain...

Join me as we discard the low-IQ panic over Trump's tariff moves, and apply common sense to understand exactly what's going on and why these are the right moves for America--especially as just a single facet of a much broader plan to save America's economy from implosion.  We'll also take a look at how a Boston judge has so lost her legal mind that she mistakenly believes her c...

Florida Captain Brock Horner of Tarpon Coast Fishing was guiding a group of fisherman in his boat on Tuesday, April 1, when he took offense at the driver of another vessel, 22-year-old Gage Towles.  In a fit of rage, Horner boards Towles’ vessel, and acts in a threatening manner. Fortunately for us, the exchange was captured on a camera held by the teenager. The question presented to us at Law of...
