36 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 515 (Winter, 2022) |
The COVID-19 pandemic forced courthouses around the country to shutter their doors to in-person hearings and embrace video teleconferencing (VTC), launching a technology proliferation within the U.S. legal system. Immigration courts have long been authorized to use VTC, but the pandemic prompted the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to... |

"BY ACCIDENT OF BIRTH": THE BATTLE OVER BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP AFTER UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK |
32 Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities 38 (Summer, 2021) |
In theory, birthright citizenship has been well established in U.S. law since 1898, when the Supreme Court held in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that all born on U.S. soil are U.S. citizens. The experience of immigrants and their families over the last 120 years tells a different story, however. This article draws on government records documenting... |

Most fathers envision walking their daughters down the aisle and giving a heartfelt wedding speech, toasting the new couple and reflecting, maybe bittersweetly, on the new family and life she is creating with her spouse.

A DOMESTIC REIGN OF TERROR: DONALD TRUMP'S FAMILY SEPARATION POLICY |
24 Harvard Latinx Law Review 65 (Spring, 2021) |
Family separation has the dubious distinction of being the most odious measure amongst Donald Trump's draconian anti-immigrant immigration policies. The policy was introduced by the Trump administration as a way to broadly deter would-be immigrants and asylum seekers by instilling in them the fear of being separated from their children. After its... |

Too many Black persons and other persons of color are dying at the hands of law enforcement, leading many to call for the defunding of police. These deaths were directly caused by excessive use of force by police officers but were also driven by upstream and institutional factors that include structural racism, institutional bias, and a historic... |

A PATHWAY TO HEALTH CARE CITIZENSHIP FOR DACA BENEFICIARIES |
12 California Law Review Online 29 (June, 2021) |
Since 2012, beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) have enjoyed a certain normalization, however tenuous, of their status in the United States: they can legally work, their removal proceedings are deferred, and they cease to accrue unlawful presence. Regarding subsidized health coverage, however, DACA beneficiaries remain on... |

In this Essay, I examine the lack of scholarly attention given to the role of civil procedure in racial subordination. I posit that a dearth of critical thought interrogating the connections between procedure and the subjugation of marginalized peoples might be due to the limited experiences of procedural scholars; a misconception that procedural... |

9 Texas A&M Law Review 209 (Fall, 2021) |
Due primarily to increases in individuals fleeing violence and turmoil in Central America, over 40% of noncitizens arriving in the United States are put on a fast-track removal process and subsequently claim fear of returning to their home countries. A decade ago, the number was only 5%. This influx of asylum-seekers at the border has led to... |

ABDICATION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT |
96 Indiana Law Journal 1325 (Summer, 2021) |
Presidential abdication in immigration law has long been synonymous with the perceived nonenforcement of certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. President Obama's never-implemented policy of deferred action, known as DAPA, serves as the prime example in the literature. But can the President abdicate the duty of faithful execution... |

AFFIRMATIVE DUTIES IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION |
134 Harvard Law Review 2486 (May, 2021) |
Detention has become an undeniably central part of immigration enforcement today. In principle, the constitutional right to be free from deprivation of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law extends to all persons within U.S. territory, regardless of citizenship. In practice, due process for noncitizen detainees tends to be far... |

Democracy can take root anywhere, from community gardens to the most toxic workplace environments.

Where democracy is allowed to blossom, it can undermine social hierarchies that have long seemed... |
