The MALDEF team at last week’s 5th Circuit DACA oral argument lead by the brilliant Nina Perales. Kudos also to the MALDEF interns who worked long hours to make sure everything went smoothly. Representing the #956 #210 #202 & everything in between. GarciaGarciaLaw Ropes & Gray

I’ve admired immigration rights & civil rights activist Erika Andiola from afar for many years. A couple of weeks ago I was able to chat w/ her on the steps of the 5th Circuit COA after the DACA oral arguments. This movement is lucky to have longtime leaders like her. #daca

You might have heard that a collection of artists have spent the summer in #Uvalde creating portrait murals of the children and teachers who were killed. When you stand in front of them you can’t stop staring.

Hearing LIZZO play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

I love being back in school and thankful to the staff at Sam Houston Elementary for doing such a great job with their career fair. The students asked great questions! I asked the kids what they thought I did and one student perfectly shouted “protect people’s rights!” McAllen ISD

Today in federal court in Houston MALDEF continues to fight on behalf of DACA recipients - ppl who want the right to contribute to society & provide for their families. I am proud to continue to stand next to them for all these years & thankful for allies like Ropes & Gray. #daca

What an exciting first part of the school year watching Gael perform as part of the McHi Bulldog Band. The amount of hours that these kids and parents put into preparing for their shows is remarkable. #mchiband #mcallenhighschoolbulldogband #mchibulldogband McAllen ISD
