Join SIHRLA for a fireside chat and Q&A with SLS’s Professor Chacón in which she will talk about her new book, Legal Phantoms – Executive Action and the Haunting Failures of Immigration Law. Legal Phantoms tells the story of the executive action programs announced after, and modeled upon, the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Legal challenges ultimately prevented these programs from going into effect. The book focuses on how the failure of these reforms has impacted the people who had hoped to benefit from deferred action, and how the tense, contradictory policy landscape has shaped their lives and the fate of their wider communities.
