Texas’ guidance on end of in-state tuition for undocumented students doesn’t clear confusion, advocates say
The state is being criticized for advising colleges to verify students’ status with immigration authorities, which could put them at risk.

A "public hearing" before the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board without any member of the Board present is not a public hearing. Many lawfully present immigrant students are being misclassified and denied in-state tuition.

50 years of practicing immigration law and I have seen many horrendous things and treatment of immigrants. But deporting immigrants to war torn dangerous countries not their own shows how cruelty and xenophobia reach new heights

The Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration can now resume deporting people to countries that may not be equipped to protect them.
Deporting people to danger doesn't fix what's broken in our immigration system. It just further destroys asylum by denying people the right to a fair process.

Proud to have worked 24 years ago on the passage of the first in the country, transformative in-state tuition bill for undocumented students. A bipartisan vote signed by a Rep. Governor. What has changed since then is the rise of right wing extremism. Oppose SB 1798

Bridges v. Wixon, 326 U.S. 135 (1945). No deportation without due process. Even tho there is little due process in immigration court, while judges claim adher to these principles. I had the privilege of hearing Henry Bridges, a labor organizer, speak about his courageous fight against deportation.
