The Trump Administration and the Law of the Lochner Era |
107 Georgetown Law Journal 1323 (May, 2019) |

White Nationalism as Immigration Policy |
71 Stanford Law Review Online 197 (March, 2019) |
Two years into the Trump presidency, white nationalism may be driving the Administration's immigration policy.
