Please join the UC Davis Immigration and Nationality Law Review for their 2024 Symposium "Perpetually Punished: Removing Criminality from Immigration Law" on Friday, April 19, from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. at King Hall. The symposium will feature a keynote address from César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández on his new book Welcome the Wretched: In Defense of the "Criminal Alien." García Hernández reimagines immigration law untainted by the criminal legal system, arguing that, "[To insist] that life in the United States is rightly available only to people who steer clear of criminality [is to] ignore the basic reality that crime is a feature of life in the United States." 

The keynote address will be followed by presentations by a panel of scholars and practitioners on the ways in which the criminal and immigration systems intersect to produce a harmful, second round of punishment. Register here.
