It’s not déjà vu from last week. It’s our newest!
🚨 New Book 🚨
Friends - @ElProfeBarba and I are excited to share news about another publication we've got coming out this fall, “Sanctuary in America: How Activists Defied the Government and Defended Immigrants—And Why It Still Matters” published with @OxUniPress!

🚨 New Book 🚨
Friends, @ElProfeBarba and I are thrilled to share the publication of “Sacred Refuge: New Histories of the U.S. Sanctuary Movement” coming this November from @NYUpress !
“Huerta wrote in an online essay: ‘Cesar’s actions do not reflect the values of our community and our movement. The farmworker movement has always been bigger and far more important than any one individual.’”
MY LATEST @latimes COLUMNA: And just like that, the Cesar Chavez myth is punctured. What's next? latimes.com/california/story…

ICYMI: For years, faith groups have applied for a special govt program to help secure worship spaces.
But Trump’s DHS changed the conditions — such as apparently requiring grant recipients to cooperate with ICE.
Now, faith groups are voicing outrage. religionnews.com/2025/10/17/…

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.
Three say they've been shot w/pepper balls, sometimes while praying.
All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/…

When asked, I had to share my thoughts on @UWMadison granting an honorary doctorate to the architect of one of this country's most restrictive pieces of immigration legislation. Really a head-scratching move.
Jim Sensenbrenner, who introduced the Patriot Act in 2001 and a controversial immigration reform bill in 2005, was honored Friday with an honorary doctorate from the Universtiy of Wisconsin, sparking backlash from immigrant rights advocates. buff.ly/inXGyW3
