“These kinds of state laws have the possibility to be really destabilizing...because they create an atmosphere of fear for people about the status of immigrants within their communities,” ICAP's Bill Powell on our challenge of a new TN "harboring" law.

NEW: Together with @icapgeorgetown.bsky.social and @tnimmigrant.bsky.social, we filed a lawsuit challenging a new Tennessee law that criminalizes providing shelter to people who are undocumented.
This law is not about public safety, it’s about fear and xenophobia.

!["As deans of law schools, we have a special responsibility for the legal profession. Recently, the federal government has imposed significant sanctions on the law firms of Perkins Coie, Covington & Burling, Paul Weiss, and Jenner & Block seemingly because of the clients they and their lawyers represented and litigation in which their lawyers participated.
We write to reaffirm basic principles: The government should not punish lawyers and law firms for the clients they represent, absent specific findings that such representation was illegal or unethical. Punishing lawyers for their representation and advocacy violates the First Amendment and undermines the Sixth Amendment.
We thus speak as legal educators, responsible for training the next generation of lawyers, in condemning any government efforts to punish lawyers or their firms based on the identity of their clients or for their zealous lawful and ethical advocacy."

Earlier this year, Georgia enacted a law that largely criminalizes charitable bail activities. We (ICAP + ACLU-GA) represent a nonprofit and 2 church volunteers challenging the law. We obtained a PI, which we defended in a brief filed last week. www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/our-wor...
