Professor Chin Comments on Department of Justice Immigration Brief for Dallas Morning News

Professor Gabriel "Jack" Chin commented for the Dallas Morning News on a friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Department of Justice in a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit case involving a Farmers Branch, Texas appeal of a federal court decision striking down a city ordinance banning undocumented immigrants from renting housing.

"Justice usually waits until it gets to the Supreme Court until it sticks its nose in," said Professor Chin. "But this is important" because of the increasing number of states and local governments stepping into federal immigration matters.

Gabriel "Jack" Chin, who joined the King Hall faculty in 2011, is a prolific and much-cited criminal and immigration law scholar whose work has addressed many of the most pressing social issues of our time.
