Las Vegas attorney Meesha Moulton has been watching a pattern emerge in immigration cases that, she argues, should alarm Americans across the political spectrum. Enforcement agencies ignoring the law. Judges blurring the line between branches of government. The separation of powers that the Constitution was built on, treated as an obstacle instead of the foundation.

In this clip from Fargo Talks, Meesha tells Jeff Fargo why she believes the current state of ICE enforcement and immigration adjudication is not an America First position at all. She walks through the contradiction at the center of it: if you believe in the Constitution, you believe in separation of powers. If you believe in separation of powers, you cannot also cheer the erosion of it. Her argument is not about which side you voted for. It is about whether the country still operates the way it was designed to operate.

What is the separation of powers? Separation of powers is the constitutional principle that divides the U.S. government into three independent branches; legislative, executive, and judicial; each with distinct authority and the ability to check the others. It is one of the foundational structures of American constitutional government, designed by the Founders to prevent the concentration of power that defines authoritarian systems.

What is ICE? U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the federal law enforcement agency within the Department of Homeland Security responsible for civil and criminal enforcement of immigration laws inside the United States, including detention, removal proceedings, and worksite enforcement.
