Dean Johnson Comments on Deportation Case for Sacramento Bee
Dean Kevin R. Johnson commented for the Sacramento Bee on the case of an undocumented immigrant facing deportation as a result of his arrest for possession of less than one-third of a gram of marijuana.
"This tells you how far the nation's gone in the war on drugs and immigrant drug offenders," Dean Johnson said. "He seems to be a relatively low priority compared to someone convicted of a violent crime or one involving firearms."
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.
