In September, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis routed approximately 50 asylum seekers from San Antonio, Texas to Martha’s Vineyard. Explore the legal implications of DeSantis’s actions and current issues in asylum law and policy. Led by Professor Sarah Sherman-Stokes, associate director of the Immigrants’ Rights & Human Trafficking Clinic at Boston University School of Law. Sherman-Stokes, who teaches Immigration Law, takes a critical look at immigration law and policy, including at the intersections of asylum law, detention and deportation, and immigrant surveillance, enforcement and abolition. She regularly speaks and appears in the media on issues including asylum, detention and deportation, and has published op-eds in The Washington Post, USA Today, Cognoscenti, Bloomberg Law and The Hill.
