We at the @ChaconCenterUMd are so proud of our inaugural Chacón Scholar, @UMDLaw 3rd year Rafael Moreno, who just threw down with the judges of the 2nd Circuit to defend his immigrant client! And so lucky to have @Aad_Pad at the helm of our Appellate Immigration Clinic. <3

[Aadhithi Padmanabhan @Aad_Pad]

Proud of this incredible student team from @UMDLaw's Federal Appellate Immigration Clinic who, with co-counsel @PLS_NY, skillfully represented our client challenging his deportation before the Second Circuit. Listen to the argument here: https://t.co/hlSRNN8TXo @ChaconCenterUMd

38 yrs after we arrived from India to the US, @VP swore-in my mother @geetaraogupta to Ambassador on Global Women’s Issues w my father holding her copy of U.S. constitution. SO much work to do 🇺🇸, but it was inspiring day for women/girls around the 🌍 & for immigrant families ♥️

A deportation is not an 'ending'-it's a political act, and can be undone. That's why I produced a short film for the #chancetocomehome campaign, which is demanding a process for deported people to return to their homes in the U.S. The film premieres in an event TODAY 2pmET/11amPT

[Maureen Sweeney @LawProfMSweeney]

Such an honor to appear with these two. @UMDLaw @ChaconCenterUMd

Last week,  CAIR Coalition organized a panel at the Partners for Justice Conference. Panelists discussed the universal representation movement and why provisioning free legal representation, particularly to individuals in ICE detention facilities, matters.

[Maureen Sweeney @LawProfMSweeney]

Just taking a moment to appreciate the terrific panel I was lucky enough to be part of at the Partners for Justice conference in Baltimore last week. Colleagues like Eric Lopez from @CAIRCoalition and the Honorable Lisa Dornell help me sustain my hope dynamic! @ChaconCenterUMd
