Angel Mendez-Flores spent his summer in Washington, D.C., working as a policy intern at the Mexican-American Legal and Educational Fund, the leading Latinx civil rights organization in the United States. As a policy intern, Angel had the opportunity to attend Supreme Court decisions, attend Congressional hearings and conduct his own research. Angel had the opportunity to witness the Court’s ruling in the case regarding the 2020 census question and also attended hearings on issues of family separation - both of which are directly related to Angel’s main area of interest: immigration. He also had the opportunity to write a policy brief on the subject, in which he proposed answers to the growing problems in the area of immigration.
