On Friday, October 5, 2018, Ravi and immigrants’ rights organizations (the “Appellants”) filed their reply brief in Ragbir et al., v. Homan et al. The brief—which outlines the outrageous and unlawful targeting of Mr. Ragbir and other immigrant rights’ activists in retaliation for their vocal opposition to our broken immigration system—was filed in anticipation of oral argument which is schedule for Monday, October 29, 2018 at 10:00am before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Community members are encouraged to attend.

In addition, and preceding oral argument, the NYU School of Law Immigrant Rights Clinic and Mr. Ragbir’s Defense Committee, will be hosting a First Amendment Teach-In entitled, Whose Speech? Our Speech! Immigrant Rights and the First Amendment, in anticipation of oral argument on Thursday, October 25, 2018 from 6pm – 8pm. The teach-in will be held at Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, New York, a church founded as a temple of abolition in the 1850s, which served as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Details and speaker bios forthcoming.
