207: How Public Defenders Can and Have Beaten Mass Immigration Prosecutions w/Eric Fish


Listen Later

In a follow up to our episode on Operation Lone Star, Hunter is joined by UC Davis Law Professor Eric Fish to discuss his recent law review article, “Resisting Mass Immigration Prosecutions.” On our previous OLS episode, we discussed the many ways the state of Texas has stacked the deck in its favor, making it extremely difficult for PDs to get anything close to a “win.” Yet, OLS is not the first mass immigration prosecution scheme, and today’s episode is about understanding the lessons we can learn from Eric, the other PDs, and the criminal defense attorneys in San Diego who got amazing wins against Operation Streamline.

 

Guests:

Eric Fish, Former Federal Public Defender and Professor of Law, UC Davis School of Law
