S2E19 | From the Classroom to the Supreme Court

Jake sits down with returning guest Fernanda Herrera Spieler, who previously joined us for S2E4. Fernanda traveled to DC and heard oral arguments in the Supreme Court for Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California, a case which will decide the future of the DACA program and further define the power of the executive branch. She and Jake talk about the oral argument, the questions and responses of the justices, and what this case means for the future of the immigrant community. Fernanda Herrera Spieler is a 2nd year law student at Loyola University Chicago School of Law. She is working to become an immigration lawyer and defend members of the immigrant community in their quests to live a full life in the United States. Fernanda was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico in 1994 and moved to the United States with her family when she was 2 and a half years old.
