@gulcimmigration
just published my article, Alienating Criminal Procedure, which details how immigration and border cases are reshaping the federal criminal courts and dampening procedural rigor to the detriment of citizens and non-citizens alike. https://t.co/rmxyZt5fox

@Prof_LMHarris @mallikakaur @NicoleTuchinda @TheAALS So wonderful to be in conversation with you all!

@OrinKerr Not specifically about abolition, but @radleybalko had a good substack about how to think about criminal justice reform setbacks in this election cycle and why it's always more complicated than the soundbites suggest: https://t.co/IeVIkJn09Q

I just keep thinking about what we could have done with $10 billion dollars if we hadn’t spent it on political advertising.

Such a tremendous victory by Megan Baca and Arianna Price of California Innocence Advocates! @CWSL_News and California Western Innocence and Justice Clinic (@CA_Innocence) are grateful to have them on board supervising and teaching our students about Innocence work.

He spent 30 years in prison, where he was beaten and shot. But was he actually innocent? https://t.co/Qgj9laK12s Heartbreaking saga of justice denied. @latimes @keribla

@jduffyrice @KyverRex It lives on in my syllabi…

@mindchangeframe Elon offered me a Dark MAGA hat if I donated $5 to Trump today. And I’m in California. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@CarlaCrowder12 @CWSL_News We miss Alabama too!

HUGE thank you to @i_AlexisGomez91, Amruta Trivedi, Esther Fernandez, and Myra Espinoza for visiting my Crimmigration class at @CWSL_News yesterday and sharing your insights from your crim/imm work at the San Diego County Public Defender’s Office—my students learned so much!

Word, let’s talk undocumented immigrants and housing. Right now, Texas is avoiding an apocalyptic housing shortage by building new units faster than any other state. How many of those construction workers are undocumented? An estimated 50 percent

@Prof_Eisenberg Congrats!

@CamdenYords @RMFifthCircuit @jadler1969 To be fair, it would have been easy for them to re-indict with an AUSA who was barred presiding over grand jury proceedings in Garcia-Andrade. The problem is that particular prosecutor didn’t want to admit they made a mistake. Maybe Ansari will be wiser.

@jenniferdoleac @SueBellCobb and her org @RedemptionEarn run into this barrier but have some successes circumventing it. Nursing home resistance to taking folks from prison is a barrier to release in Alabama. But even with nursing home placement the Alabama parole board can block release.

@ProfFerguson @AUWCL Perfect timing--I was just going to look for this to give the 1Ls during our orientation lunch!
