Episode 7: Barriers, Bombs, and the Internet

A federal appeals court allows a controversial deportation policy to move forward, a new supreme leader in Iran signals a more aggressive and possibly nuclear path in an escalating conflict, and lawmakers revisit the law that built the modern internet. One key question remains: who actually holds power in today’s legal system?

In this episode of Wahl on Law, Jonas breaks down a major immigration case involving third-country deportations, the global and nuclear implications of Iran’s new leadership and the expanding conflict in the region, and the growing debate over Section 230, including its connection to a landmark social media addiction trial against Meta and Google. Together, these stories highlight how courts, global power shifts, and government institutions are reshaping law and policy in real time.
