The California Court of Appeal just delivered a major decision in Muñoz v. Regents (Aug. 5, 2025) — ruling that the University of California’s policy banning undocumented students without federal work permits from campus jobs violates California law.

In this video, I break down:

~What this case is about
~Why UC’s “risk management” defense failed
~How California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) protects workers based on immigration status
~The potential impact on universities and undocumented students statewide

Whether you’re a law student, an attorney, or just someone interested in immigration and employment rights, this case could set a powerful precedent for how institutions must treat undocumented students under California law.
