Policy Director, American Immigration Council. Imm defender & civil rights lawyer. Stanford Law School, Northwestern Univ.
Grateful to testify last week before members of Congress alongside friend & fellow Northwestern alum Janessa Goldbeck, CEO of Vet Voice Foundation who testified on harms of using National Guard & military for civil immigration enforcement. Mass deportation makes all Americans LESS safe.

Watching Trump’s ppl botch the definition of HABEAS CORPUS reminds me of when me & my DACA recipient kid client won his habeas petition which set him FREE after months of horrific Trump 1.0 detention. This is the ring he made me while in detention using shreds of plastic (w my name on it too) 💔 ♥️

The 200+ men deported to El Salvador by Trump this wknd had ZERO opportunity to contest allegations. Many said they were falsely accused of being in the gang “Tren de Aragua.” One even had a hearing set tomorrow.

There was NO due process at all for these shackled men stuck in an El Salvador prison🚨

Loved talking to Stacey Abrams about how Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda hurts our communities, economy and safety especially alongside important leaders like @jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social

Woke up thinking about all the families separated & decimated by deportation. Like Tina Hamdi deported in 2017 from her Ohio hometown after nearly her entire life in the U.S. She had DACA & was torn from her two US citizen children.💔 Her deportation didn’t make anyone safer or fix our broken system.

This is Trump using immigration enforcement tactics to score political points. This isn’t first time ICE has done this, but a terrorizing PR strategy means many ppl in Chicago won’t go to work or show up to school this week. This chilling effect hurts all of us.

Proud to talk abt contributions immigrants make to our communities, country & economy as Policy Director at American Immigration Council. Excited to bring to bear my experiences repping immigrants facing deportation & advocating on Capitol Hill & my identity as an immigrant! @immcouncil.bsky.social
