As most people know, the Trump admin is deporting people to foreign prisons, war zones, and countries they've never set foot in. A Jamaican man sent to a prison in Eswatini.A Guatemalan man deported to Mexico, then sent back to Guatemala — the one place a judge said he couldn't go. 1/4

I thought I'd never write a constitutional law paper but here we are. New paper coming out in 2027 in the Denver Law Review arguing that at least some third country removals are unconstitutional.

Deeply honored (and mildly bewildered) to receive the Cabrini Mercy Prize for my paper on decriminalizing migrant smuggling. Grateful that there are people out there who're still open to engaging with these ideas. You can find the paper and the other winners here: cabriniprize.org/winners/

Maybe it's happening more now, but people have been accepting this for over a decade.

Don't know if this is too 3D chess for them but really feels like everything (Harvard news re int'l students, tariff threats, complaints re: Apple) is to distract from the "Big Beautiful Bill" that will enact historic cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits.

Deporting people to torture camps where they have no recourse to get out even with due process is wrong.

I know I'm late to the party but I finally read Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett birthright citizenship article which by now has been I think pretty conclusively debunked but I'd like to add one thing which is not substantive but about the way in which they advance their political project... 1/n

IDK but writing a book review that misreads the book and where you basically admit you hate the writer because he get's more attention than you and so you just attack him without barely any substance is...not a good look.

There will be at least 40 people at that trial who will try to win his heart by airdropping information about jury nullification to everyone's phones in the courtroom.

Someone referred to latinamerican constitutions as wikiconstitutions b/c Congresses edit constitutions as if they were wikipedia entries, but Mexico prohibiting vapes in the constitution shows that actually it's easier to edit the Mexican constitution than a wikipedia article.

The 🇲🇽Sheinbaum Govt hates to boast about it (& the 🇺🇸Trump camp likes to glance away) but Mexico is already arresting RECORD numbers of US-bound migrants since last December when Biden closed 2 railway crossing bridges after a peak in 🇺🇸🇲🇽 border encounters Graph by @adamisacson.com

The Mexican president, through the letter she wrote Trump and what she revealed of her conversation with him today has admitted what the Mexican government has not wanted to admit for years: that Mexico has indeed become the wall that Trump asked for (and Biden did too).

Very much in favor of ppl doing whatever they want but I think rebranding self published books as indie books is a bit much tbh.
