LawTalk Ep. 45 - Citizenship Exceptionalism

This episode, Citizenship Exceptionalism: How the Deportation Power Has Reduced Constitutional Protection for Everyone features associate professor of clinical law and the director of the Detainee Rights Clinic Linus Chan and his lecture on how the growing reality of immigration detention and deportation has transformed our understanding of constitutional due process and equal protection away from "personhood" into something where citizenship becomes all too relevant. He also discusses how centering this conversation on citizenship weakens the Constitution for everyone, citizen and non-citizen alike. This event was recorded on October 15, 2024 and is part of The James H. Binger Clinical Professor of Law Appointment Lecture. You can watch the entire event recording on the Minnesota Law YouTube channel.
