We do not care where they come from, we do not care what language they speak, but an illegal alien is not welcome in Hazleton!

Please do not deport my parents because you will also deport a girl who only has a year left of high school and a dream to become something more than the daughter of illegal immigrants.

It Is Discriminatory for Arizona or Society to Engage in the Anti-immigration Practice of Profiling Hispanics for Speaking Spanish |
12 Loyola Journal of Public Interest Law 109 (Fall 2010) |
This article addresses whether it is a discriminatory practice for Arizona or society to engage in the practice of profiling Hispanics for speaking Spanish. It first looks at whether the United States Constitution allows Arizona to implement an anti-immigration law, S.B. 1070, that creates a presumption that speaking Spanish by a person Hispanic in... |

IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD: THE LAW AND ECONOMICS OF BUSINESS IN INDIAN COUNTRY |

Indian reservation economies have been in shambles for generations. Although some tribes operate successful gaming enterprises, no tribe has a vibrant private sector economy.

It's Just like Prison: Is a Civil (Nonpunitive) System of Immigration Detention Theoretically Possible? |
96 Denver Law Review 955 (Summer, 2019) |
This Essay questions a fundamental premise on which the U.S. civil immigration detention system is built: Is a civil--that is, nonpunitive--system of immigration detention even possible? The Supreme Court has not questioned this assumption. Most scholars who critique the state of immigration confinement in the United States assume the possibility... |

Jail by Another Name: Ice Detention of Immigrant Criminal Defendants on Pretrial Release |
25 Michigan Journal of Race and Law 147 (Winter, 2020) |
This Article assesses the legality of an alarming practice: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) routinely detains noncitizen criminal defendants soon after they have been released on bail, depriving them of their court-ordered freedom. Since the District of Oregon's decision in United States v. Trujillo-Alvarez, 900 F. Supp. 2d 1167 (D. Or.... |

JAILHOUSE IMMIGRATION SCREENING |

Within the past decade, U.S. interior immigration enforcement has shifted away from the street and into the jailhouse. The rationale behind jailhouse screening is to target enforcement efforts on those who fall within federal removal priorities. This Article shows how a program undertaken with the stated aim of targeting immigration enforcement has... |

Jailing Immigrant Detainees: a National Study of County Participation in Immigration Detention, 1983-2013 |
54 Law and Society Review 66 (March, 2020) |
Hundreds of county jails detain immigrants facing removal proceedings, a civil process. In exchange, local jails receive per diem payments from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Immigration detention thus presents a striking case of commodification of penal institutions for civil confinement purposes. Yet we know very little about the counties... |

Japan's "Foreign Workers" Policy: a View from the United States |

In Japan, the issue of immigration--the so-called foreign workers problem --has been the focus of great attention and concern in recent years for many of the same reasons as in the United States and Europe. The current downturn in the Japanese economy may have reduced immediate pressures for reexamination of the status quo. Given the increasingly... |

JUDGES' ETHICAL DUTIES TO ENSURE FAIR TREATMENT OF INDIGENT PARTIES |

In this Essay, I will argue that the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Code of Judicial Conduct (the Model Code) should more squarely address the challenges faced by low-income litigants. Amendments should make clear that judges have a duty to ensure the fair treatment of the indigent in the U.S. legal system. I have written elsewhere about... |

Judging Immigration Equity: Deportation and Proportionality in the Supreme Court |

Though it has not directly said so, the United States Supreme Court cares about proportionality in the deportation system. Or at least it thinks someone in the system should be considering the justifiability of removal decisions. As this Article demonstrates, the Court's jurisprudence across a range of substantive and procedural challenges over the... |

The constitutional avoidance doctrine is a canon of construction dictating that where a statute is susceptible of two constructions, by one of which grave and doubtful constitutional questions arise and by the other of which such questions are avoided, [a court's] duty is to adopt the latter.

Although U.S. immigration laws have been historically pro-family, a... |
