Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams Joins Effort to Support 'Dreamers'

Joshua Geltzer was quoted in the Arizona Republic about the brief he and others filed in support of the lawsuit to preserve DACA:

The brief was co-authored by Joshua Geltzer, executive director of Georgetown Law’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection.

Geltzer acknowledged the various lawsuits challenging Trump’s action, and said he hopes the law-enforcement voices will add value to the overall cause.

In some political narratives, Geltzer said, the elimination of DACA has been framed as a boon to public safety.

“We hope to clarify that for those on the front lines of public safety, which (includes) Police Chief Williams, actually terminating DACA would be real step backwards,” he said. “It would really make their jobs, day in and day out, harder.”
