ACLU-PA Sues U. of Pittsburgh Over Student Group Suspension
The ACLU of Pennsylvania has filed a lawsuit against the University of Pittsburgh over the school's suspension of its Students for Justice in Palestine chapter in apparent retaliation for criticisms that the group made of the university.
In October, ACLU-PA released a new report called Cold Reality: Uncovering the Cruelty and Chaos of ICE Practices in Pennsylvania. The report is an analysis of documents obtained from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, and what they show about the harm that ICE enforcement actions do to families and communities.
Here to talk about it are Vanessa Stine, senior staff attorney for immigrants’ rights at the ACLU of PA; Laura Perkins, human rights organizer with Casa San Jose in Pittsburgh; and Professor Caitlin Barry of Villanova University School of Law and the director of the law school’s Farmworker Legal Aid Clinic.
