Bush who used the authority of the Patriot Act to round up nonimmigrants from Muslim and Arab countries,... 2018

Antonio M. Coronado ENVISIONING REPARATIVE LEGAL PEDAGOGIES 30 Clinical Law Review 65 (Fall, 2023) As numerous reports, student movements, and forms of scholarship-activism have noted, the traditional U.S. law school classroom remains a space of hierarchy, privilege, and unnamed systems of power.

Jenny-Brooke Condon Equal Protection Exceptionalism 69 Rutgers University Law Review 563 (Winter, 2017) Equal protection doctrine addressed to immigrants' rights is thoroughly exceptional. It is an amalgam of super-deference, suspect class treatment, and even intermediate scrutiny, depending upon whether immigrants are present in the United States lawfully or not, and whether a state or federal classification is at issue. No other area of equal... 2017

Immigration Laws 63 University of Kansas Law Review 981 (May, 2015) Immigrants and immigrant rights advocates knew we were in trouble when a Ku Klux Klan knight called for shooting unaccompanied children (UACs) arriving at the border and the Obama administration expedited removal proceedings of UACs and children arriving at the border with other family members.

Antonios Kouroutakis Eu Action Plan Against Disinformation: Public Authorities, Platforms and the People 53 International Lawyer 277 (2020) Democracy is a technology of governance. The spread of democracy--the so called democratization--took place progressively and in waves. According to Huntington, the first wave started in 1820, the second with the end of World War II, and the third wave in 1974. Remarkably, before the end of World War II, democracy was close to extinction as only... 2020

Shelly Chandra Patel E-verify: an Exceptionalist System Embedded in the Immigration Reform Battle Between Federal and State Governments 30 Boston College Third World Law Journal 453 (Spring, 2010) Abstract: The immigration debate has proven to be fertile ground for promoting exceptionalist practices, where certain groups of people are isolated from the rest of the population and regarded as a subclass.

Naomi Barrowclough E-verify: Long-awaited 'Magic Bullet' or Weak Attempt to Substitute Technology for Comprehensive Reform? 62 Rutgers Law Review 791 (Spring 2010) The subject of immigration reform was notably absent from the 2008 presidential campaign.

Jennifer Lee Koh EXECUTIVE DEFIANCE AND THE DEPORTATION STATE 130 Yale Law Journal 948 (February, 2021) A basic assumption in our legal system is that once a federal court issues an order, the government will obey. But the validity of that assumption has been tested over the years, including in the immigration context, and for reasons both related to and separate from the identity of the President. Indeed, understanding the government's... 2021

Victor C. Romero Expanding the Circle of Membership by Reconstructing the "Alien" : Lessons from Social Psychology and the "Promise Enforcement" Cases 32 University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform Reform 1 (Fall 1998) Recent legal scholarship suggests that the Supreme Court's decisions on immigrants' rights favor conceptions of membership over personhood.
