BEYOND NON-VIOLENT OFFENSES: CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM AND INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE IN THE AGE OF PROGRESSIVE PROSECUTION |
16 Stanford Journal of Civil Rights & Civil Liberties 457 (2021) |
Intimate partner violence is routinely left out of the public discourse about criminal justice reform. The criminal legal system all too often fails to effectively protect victims from intimate partner violence, although it continues to impose deleterious collateral consequences on defendants. In this Article, we review the platforms and policy... |

45 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 37 (2021) |

71 Emory Law Journal 57 (2021) |
Courts have historically struggled to consistently consider extrinsic evidence of animus and bias in immigration cases. In two key cases concerning challenges to restrictive immigration policies of the Trump Administration-- Trump v. Hawaii and DHS v.

BRINGING RACIAL JUSTICE TO IMMIGRATION LAW |
116 Northwestern University Law Review Online 1 (May 13, 2021) |
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... |

CAGES AND COMPENSATORY DAMAGES: SUING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS |
68 UCLA Law Review 288 (May, 2021) |
The Trump Administration's zero-tolerance, family separation policy tore thousands of children from their parents. Federal law enforcement officers at the border have caged infants and returned traumatized teenagers to parents only after long periods of detention. The government frustrated family reunification efforts, perhaps indefinitely, by... |

CAN "ASIANS" TRULY BE AMERICANS? |
27 Washington and Lee Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice 559 (Spring, 2021) |
Recent, tragic events have brought more attention to hate and bias crimes against Asian Americans. It is important to address these crimes and prevent them in the future, but the discourse on Asian Americans should not end there. Many non-Asian Americans are unaware or only superficially aware of the vast diversity that exists among us, along with... |

CAPITAL CONTROLS AS MIGRANT CONTROLS |
109 California Law Review 799 (June, 2021) |
The disparate treatment of capital and labor reflects one of globalization's central asymmetries: the law often allows financial capital, but not people, to move freely across borders. Yet scholars have largely neglected the intersection of these two regimes, the legal restrictions on migrants' capital, particularly when the migrants themselves are... |

There are great benefits to be had should the United States, one of the global leaders in economic strength and political power, ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The mystery of the United States's ultimate reluctance to ratify the CRC, despite the nation's central role in the drafting process, has been... |

We live in a viral moment--a moment of interconnected pandemics. The COVID-19 crisis provides a window into the underlying pandemics of inequality, economic insecurity, and injustice.

CONFRONTING EUGENICS MEANS FINALLY CONFRONTING ITS ABLEIST ROOTS |
27 William and Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice 607 (Spring, 2021) |
In September 2020, a whistleblower complaint was filed alleging that hysterectomies are being performed on women at an immigration detention center in alarmingly high rates. Regrettably, forced sterilizations are part of the nation's long-standing history of weaponizing reproduction to subjugate socially marginalized communities. While public... |

CONSTRUCTING SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL COURTROOMS |
63 Arizona Law Review 1 (Spring, 2021) |
Federal reform transformed civil and criminal litigation in the early 1940s. The new civil rules sought to achieve adversarial balance as it afforded litigants, virtually all white, with powerful discovery tools. In contrast, the new criminal rules denied defendants, often litigants of color, any power to discover information. Instead, the new... |

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued an Order on March 26, 2020, under Title 42, Section 265 of the Public Health Service Act, in the name of combatting the spread of coronavirus.

DEPLOYING THE INTERNAL SEPARATION OF POWERS AGAINST RACIAL TYRANNY |

The separation of powers in the federal government exists to ensure a lack of tyranny in the United States.

DEPORTATION AND DEPRAVITY: DOES FAILURE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER INVOLVE MORAL TURPITUDE? |
78 Washington and Lee Law Review 1157 (Summer, 2021) |
Under U.S. immigration law, non-citizens are subject to deportation following certain criminal convictions. One deportation category is for crimes involving moral turpitude, or CIMTs. This category usually refers to crimes that involve fraud or actions seen as particularly depraved. For example, tax evasion and spousal abuse are CIMTs, but simple... |

It is the core and intended function of borders to discriminate.

But it is also a core function of modern borders to discriminate in the normatively prejudicial sense--they allocate... |
