🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

I highly recommend reading James Stone's "The Prison Discovery Crisis." Terrifically insightful, beautifully written, and the product of a lot of important work. @yalelawjournal.bsky.social www.yalelawjournal.org/pdf/134.8.St...

My latest scholarship roundup up for @statecourtreport.org covers interesting new work on state constitutions, state courts, federalism, and more. (Sorry to report that it’s the back-to-school edition!) statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

My job talk paper is up arguing that much of agency adjudication-the deciding of social security benefits, immigration status-is in fact, cooperative. Federal agencies and states often decide entitlements jointly. And that has implications for sop debates and what we think adjudications are!

Thanks @dtdeacon.bsky.social, appreciate the shoutout!

A long overdue commitment by the US. Enormous congratulations to the ACLU IRP team for tirelessly fighting for these families over the past 5 years. Proud to have been a small part of that fight. apnews.com/article/bord...
