SPEAKER

For César, there are few things more exciting than speaking with people about immigration law and policy. He’s visited backyard reading groups and 5,000-seat theaters, always ready to deliver a dynamic talk. Weaving his deep understanding of immigration law with history and moral clarity, he captures an audience’s attention and holds it until the last word. Along the way, he’ll challenge listeners to imagine new possibilities.

César’s TED talk about closing immigration prisons has been watched 1.5 million times. Mixing stories of detained migrants with law and history, it pushes beyond the horror of incarceration toward a hopeful vision of immigration laws that support migrants rather than punish them.

In addition to speaking at community events and bookstores, César has lectured widely at colleges and universities. From Oxford to Harvard, UC Berkeley to the University of Chicago, he brings innovative intellectual exchange to campuses and conferences.
