FAIR
Illegal aliens and open-borders advocates are re-grouping after their first attempt to sue the University of California stalled. The plaintiffs sued the University of California in early October claiming it was illegally denying them on-campus jobs. The lawsuit was filed just days after Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed legislation that would have authorized the school to hire them.
The plaintiffs named in the lawsuit are both illegal aliens. Jeffry Umaña Muñoz is an illegal alien who attended UCLA as an undergraduate and was denied employment at the university bookstore and cafeteria. Discussing the lawsuit at a press conference, he said, “I experienced firsthand the pain and difficulty of being denied the right to on-campus employment at my university.”
He continued, “At the crux of this case are thousands of undocumented students and our families who simply want the freedom to study, work, and fully contribute to our universities.” The other plaintiff, Iliana Perez, is an illegal alien who is a DACA recipient. Umaña Muñoz and Perez, along with two unnamed plaintiffs, have filed the lawsuit with the help of Organized Power in Numbers and the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law.
