46 Fordham Urban Law Journal 548 (June, 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. We view white nationalism as the belief that national identity should be built around white ethnicity, and that white people should therefore maintain both a demographic majority and dominance of the nation's culture and public life. We... |

Beyond Severity: a New View of Crimmigration |
22 Lewis & Clark Law Review 663 (2018) |
While the Trump Administration's harsh crackdown on immigrants builds on an enforcement infrastructure inherited from previous administrations, this Article cautions against characterizing it as merely an escalation of crimmigration--the merging of criminal and immigration law evident in recent decades. I argue instead that key contrasts between... |

Big Immigration Law |
52 U.C. Davis Law Review 407 (November, 2018) |
The forays of the Trump administration into uncharted waters of immigration restriction have highlighted a trend that pre-dates the 2016 election: the unchecked growth of immigration governance strategies that rely on large-scale restrictions of liberty in the form of mass detention and deportation. These mushrooming immigration policing... |

50 Columbia Human Rights Law Review Rev. 1 (Fall, 2018) |
The United States is deeply divided on matters that range from immigration to religion to fracking.

Deporting Undesirable Women |
9 UC Irvine Law Review 53 (September, 2018) |
Immigration law has long labeled certain categories of immigrants undesirable. One of the longest-standing of these categories is women who sell sex.

U.S. immigration law was built on a foundation of systemic white supremacy. While a brief historical analysis of immigration laws in the United States illustrates a shift from explicitly racial to race-neutral language, the effects of the originally race-restrictive provisions in immigration law continue to be felt today. This Article illustrates... |

During the early stages of the Trump ICE age, America seemed to be witnessing and experiencing an unparalleled era of immigration enforcement. But is it unparalleled? Did we not label Barack Obama the deporter-in-chief? Was it not George W. Bush who used the authority of the Patriot Act to round up nonimmigrants from Muslim and Arab countries,... |
