Jennifer Chacon | Our History of Policing Migration Through the Criminal Justice System

UC Berkeley School of Law professor Jennifer Chacon joins Immigration Nerds. Her area of research focuses primarily on immigration, constitutional law, and criminal law and procedure.

Note: Unfortunately there are moments of audio crackling during the interview that was not detected at the moment of recording. We find the content still very valuable however we apologies for any listening inconvenience.

We discuss:

• The legislative history of policing immigrants through the criminal justice system
• A more humane alternative to manage migration
• Confronting explicit bias in the legal system
• Ways to provide adequate deterrents to unlawful immigration policing practices.
