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

In a follow up to the 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.” In the previous OLS episode, they 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. This 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.

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