USA Today Cites Aoki Center

USA Today cited the Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies in its June 18 story, “Families fear what’s next in Trump birthright citizenship case” by Trevor Hughes. The article describes the pending Supreme Court decision on Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship. 

Hughes reports, “Of the approximately 14 million people living in the United States without documentation, nearly 80% came from Mexico and Central and South America, according to the Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies at the University of California, Davis, School of Law.

“An additional 5.5 million to 6.5 million people in the United States have temporary or provisional status, including those with pending asylum claims, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and people who entered through humanitarian programs. More than 90% came from Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.”

The Aoki Center at UC Davis Law seeks to advance civil rights, critical race theory, and immigration issues through furthering scholarly research on the intersection of race and the law.
