REQUISITE REALIGNMENT: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, ASIAN AMERICANS, AND THE BLACK--WHITE BINARY |
170 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1625 (June, 2022) |
When Asian immigrants first reached American shores in substantial numbers during the late 1800s, they were faced with a country that barely recognized Black citizens and a system that continually reinforced a Black--White binary.

THE IMAGINARY IMMIGRATION CLAUSE |
120 Michigan Law Review 1419 (May, 2022) |

Yet when Congress regulates immigrants, the Court has contradictorily assumed that... |

32 Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities 38 (Summer, 2021) |
In theory, birthright citizenship has been well established in U.S. law since 1898, when the Supreme Court held in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that all born on U.S. soil are U.S. citizens.

A DECARCEL CADENCE: NEUROLOGIC MUSIC THERAPY AS AN ABOLITIONIST PROJECT |
53 Connecticut Law Review 681 (September, 2021) |
Because police and prison abolition must be approached while simultaneously improving quality of life, and thus reducing harm, abolitionist discourse should include health policies that regard the (de)regulation, use, and culture of addictive substances.

AFFIRMATIVE DUTIES IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION |
134 Harvard Law Review 2486 (May, 2021) |
Detention has become an undeniably central part of immigration enforcement today. In principle, the constitutional right to be free from deprivation of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law extends to all persons within U.S. territory, regardless of citizenship. In practice, due process for noncitizen detainees tends to be far... |

BRINGING RACIAL JUSTICE TO IMMIGRATION LAW |
116 Northwestern University Law Review Online 1 (May 13, 2021) |
Abstract--From at least as far back as the anti-Chinese laws of the 1800s, immigration has been a place of heated racial contestation in the United States. Although modern immigration laws no longer expressly mention race, their enforcement unmistakably impacts people of color from the developing world. Specifically, the laws, as enacted and... |
