Topic: ICE enforcement, deportation policy, employment law & Black American workers
Quoted as a D.C. employment attorney on a National Bureau of Economic Research study finding no evidence that native-born workers are taking jobs vacated during Trump-era deportations, and on why immigration enforcement alone does not fix employer bias or labor-market exclusion affecting Black men.
“The labor market is not a simple musical-chairs game where one immigrant leaves and one native-born worker automatically gets the job. If an employer never wanted to hire Black men before, the removal of immigrant workers does not magically create fair hiring.”
