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).

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.

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... |

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... |

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... |

EMPLOYERS AS SUBJECTS OF THE IMMIGRATION STATE: HOW THE STATE FOMENTS EMPLOYMENT INSECURITY FOR TEMPORARY IMMIGRANT WORKERS |

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... |

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... |

A basic assumption in our legal system is that once a federal court issues an order, the government will obey.

Indeed, understanding the government's... |

Property law's roots are rural.

But we have drifted far from this ideal. Today, American agriculture is industrialized, and rural... |

People often think of immigration legality in black and white terms--immigrants are documented or undocumented; they are present legally or illegally.
