Immigration Law

“It’s absolutely the case that Ice enforcement appears to be becoming more indiscriminate,” said David Hausman, assistant professor at the University of California at Berkeley’s law school. “First, we know they’re trying to maximize the number of arrests each day, which means they can’t be as thoughtful about what they’re doing. And second, they explicitly have the goal of spreading fear among immigrants in the United States, and indiscriminate arrests accomplish that as well.”

“Contrary to what the administration has been saying, there are actually very few non-citizens who have criminal convictions in the country, so the idea that there could be mass deportations of people convicted of crimes is pure nonsense,” said David Hausman, assistant professor at UC Berkeley School of Law. “That’s made up.”

Deported veterans face significant barriers accessing a variety of veteran-centric services, including health care benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to a study by the University of California-Berkeley School of Law.
