So proud of my students who brought home my very first client, 20 years after I lost his case and he was deported. They did what I could not, convincing the court that this veteran should not be deported. washingtonpost.com/immigrati…

Dear Reporters, including @NickMiroff @aflores & others, please stop saying the Biden admin was “forced” to restart MPP. The D Ct order permits the Biden admin to terminate it w a new memo. They've had TWO MONTHS to write it. I could've done it in a weekend. This was a choice. 1/
