Dean Johnson Comments for Christian Science Monitor on Immigration Legal Battle
Dean Kevin R. Johnson commented for the Christian Science Monitor on the legal battle over President Obama's executive actions on immigration. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans is weighing whether to lift a federal court injunction that has stalled the president's order to expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
"The stakes are high and tensions are high, there's a lot of emotion, and everybody is watching," Dean Johnson said.
Kevin R. Johnson is Dean and Mabie-Apallas Professor of Public Interest Law and Chicana/o studies at UC Davis School of Law. He is an internationally recognized scholar in the fields of immigration law and policy, refugee law, and civil rights.
