University of Chicago Law Professor Nicole Hallett ('10), Director of the Law School's Immigrants' Rights Clinic who has also represented salon workers, was quoted in a Vox article discussing the risks nail technicians face in returning to jobs they can't afford to lose ("'Putting Their Life on the Line Doing Your Nails': What Salon Workers Face in the Pandemic," May 20). "There's really no way for you to socially distance and get a manicure."

They're trying to put food on the table."
