DISPARATE LIMBO: HOW ADMINISTRATIVE LAW ERASED ANTIDISCRIMINATION |
131 Yale Law Journal 370 (November, 2021) |
Administrative law has a blind spot. It is blackletter doctrine that an agency's failure to consider the impacts of its conduct can lead to court invalidation of its decision as arbitrary and capricious. Judges have set aside agency action for failures to consider differential impacts on subgroups of business owners, park visitors, and animals. Yet... |

EMERGENCY AND MIGRATION, RACE AND THE NATION |
67 UCLA Law Review 1768 (April, 2021) |
Europe's borders are racial borders. The European Union's external border regime underpins continuing forms of European imperialism and neocolonialism. It reinforces a particular imaginary of Europeanness as whiteness, euphemistically dressed up as a European Way of Life to be protected. It nonetheless sits comfortably within the permissible... |

EMPLOYERS AS SUBJECTS OF THE IMMIGRATION STATE: HOW THE STATE FOMENTS EMPLOYMENT INSECURITY FOR TEMPORARY IMMIGRANT WORKERS |
46 Law and Social Inquiry 92 (February, 2021) |
The state plays a key role in shaping worker precarity, and employers are key actors in mediating this process. While employers sometimes may act as willing extensions of the deportation machinery, they are also subjects of the immigration state. In this article, we highlight the impact of state-employer dynamics on migrant workers with Temporary... |

45 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 82 (2021) |

ERASING RACE: THE ROLE OF REPUBLICANISM AND RACISM IN FRENCH CONSTITUTIONAL JURISPRUDENCE |
35 Temple International and Comparative Law Journal 167 (Summer, 2021) |
In the summer of 2018, France's parliament voted to remove the word race from the country's constitution in an effort to pursue its colorblind approach to combatting racism. Traditional French secularism stresses the non-existence of race, but by refusing to acknowledge race, France also refuses to acknowledge the reality of racism within its... |

EXCLUDING 'UNDESIRABLE' IMMIGRANTS: PUBLIC CHARGE AS DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION |
119 Michigan Law Review 1613 (May, 2021) |
Public charge is a ground of inadmissibility based upon the likelihood that a noncitizen will become dependent on government benefits in the future. Once designated as a public charge, a noncitizen is ineligible to be admitted to the United States or to obtain lawful permanent residence. In August 2019, the Trump Administration published a... |

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... |

FEE SIMPLE FAILURES: RURAL LANDSCAPES AND RACE |
119 Michigan Law Review 1695 (June, 2021) |
Property law's roots are rural. America pursued an early agrarian vision that understood real property rights as instrumental to achieving a country of free, engaged citizens who cared for their communities and stewarded their physical place in it. But we have drifted far from this ideal. Today, American agriculture is industrialized, and rural... |

FRAGILE IMMIGRATION LEGALITY COLLAPSES IN THE TRUMP ERA |
30 Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal 305 (Winter 2021) |
People often think of immigration legality in black and white terms--immigrants are documented or undocumented; they are present legally or illegally. There has long been, however, a significant gray area of quasi-legality in the U.S. immigration system. This gray area expanded for decades due to diverging policies of the executive and... |

The Trump Administration's forced separation of migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border is an international fault line in the global human rights framework. The scope, severity, and urgency of the issue speak clearly to the need for a diversity of strategies to protect migrant groups. With that in mind, this Article draws attention to a thus-far... |

HIDING HOMELESSNESS: THE TRANSCARCERATION OF HOMELESSNESS |
109 California Law Review 559 (April, 2021) |
Cities throughout the country respond to homelessness with laws that persecute people for surviving in public spaces, even when unsheltered people lack a reasonable alternative. This widespread practice--the criminalization of homelessness--processes vulnerable people through the criminal justice system with damaging results. But recently, from the... |

The last few years saw deeply troubling developments in U.S. immigration law and enforcement.

After making immigration enforcement the cornerstone of his 2016... |

IMMIGRATION LAW'S ARBITRARINESS PROBLEM |
121 Columbia Law Review 2049 (November, 2021) |
Despite deportation's devastating effects, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) specifies deportation as the penalty for nearly every immigration law violation. Critics have regularly decried the INA's lack of proportionality, contending that the penalty often does not fit the offense. The immigration bureaucracy's implementation of the INA,... |

IMPACT OF CORPORATE RESPONSE TO CONTROVERSIAL PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENTS OR POLICIES |
18 DePaul Business & Commercial Law Journal 69 (Spring, 2021) |
Not ten days into the Trump administration, corporations, normally silent or ostensibly neutral in regard to political issues, were uncommonly vocal regarding the executive order on immigration and refugees. The response was not uniform. A disproportionate number of CEOs speaking out were from the tech industry. Noticeably silent at this juncture... |
