So excited to see support for our lawsuit to end discrimination in student employment based on immigration status from more than _170_ professors across UC. Now it's up to the CA SCOTUS to take our case!! (or direct the Court of Appeals to take it).
NEW: 170+ @UofCalifornia professors, CA educators’ unions, & UC grad student leaders are coming forward this week to continue to support an end to UC discrimination against undocumented students. 🧵

Re-upping this just in case, by chance, something last night has made you think a second Trump administration may be more likely than you had imagined.
Dear Twitter!! Just in time for tomorrow's debate, check out my deep dive into Trump's immigration enforcement proposals. I closely analyze the interior-facing ones (ending TPS, mass detention and deportation camps, the Alien Enemy Act, etc.).

My thoughts on the terrible SCOTUS decision in Muñoz in slightly more developed form here:
