We are #marylandcareylawproud of Prof. @willmoontweets, recipient of the 2024 @Univ_System_MD Board of Regents Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching. The award is the highest faculty honor given by the Board of Regents. READ>>law.umaryland.edu/content/ar…
We at the @ChaconCenterUMd are so proud of our inaugural Chacón Scholar, @UMDLaw 3rd year Rafael Moreno, who just threw down with the judges of the 2nd Circuit to defend his immigrant client! And so lucky to have @Aad_Pad at the helm of our Appellate Immigration Clinic. <3
Proud of this incredible student team from @UMDLaw's Federal Appellate Immigration Clinic who, with co-counsel @PLS_NY, skillfully represented our client challenging his deportation before the Second Circuit. Listen to the argument here: courtlistener.com/audio/9091… @ChaconCenterUMd

38 yrs after we arrived from India to the US, @VP swore-in my mother @geetaraogupta to Ambassador on Global Women’s Issues w my father holding her copy of U.S. constitution. SO much work to do 🇺🇸, but it was inspiring day for women/girls around the 🌍 & for immigrant families ♥️

A deportation is not an 'ending'-it's a political act, and can be undone. That's why I produced a short film for the #chancetocomehome campaign, which is demanding a process for deported people to return to their homes in the U.S. The film premieres in an event TODAY 2pmET/11amPT
WOW hours away from launch of #ChancetoComeHome campaign w virtual film premiere & voices of 10 deported advocates and @SenBooker just told us he’s joining our launch to call out the harms of deportation & the bad ways our crim & imm systems interact to tear fams apart!!! RSVP
Such an honor to appear with these two. @UMDLaw @ChaconCenterUMd
Just taking a moment to appreciate the terrific panel I was lucky enough to be part of at the Partners for Justice conference in Baltimore last week. Colleagues like Eric Lopez from @CAIRCoalition and the Honorable Lisa Dornell help me sustain my hope dynamic! @ChaconCenterUMd
Not too late to join and learn about this really important advocacy for people who've been wrongly deported by the govt.
