An Administrative Stopgap For Migrants From The Northern Triangle, Collin D. Schueler
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
From 2011–2014, the United States Department of Homeland Security recorded an extraordinary increase in the number of unaccompanied children arriving at the southern border from Central America’s “Northern Triangle”—the area made up of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. In fact, in fiscal year 2014, United States Customs and Border Protection apprehended over 50,000 unaccompanied children from the Northern Triangle. That is thirteen times more than just three years earlier.
This Article examines the intersecting humanitarian and legal crises facing these children and offers an administrative solution to the problem. The children are fleeing a genuine humanitarian crisis—a region overrun by …
Family Unity Revisited: Divorce, Separation, And Death In Immigration Law, Albertina Antognini
Family Unity Revisited: Divorce, Separation, And Death In Immigration Law, Albertina Antognini
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Families are integral to immigration law and policy, and family-based immigration accounts for the majority of legal entry into the United States.

This Article breaks new ground at the intersection of administrative law and immigration law. One of the more important questions in both fields is whether a reviewing court should resolve a legal issue in the first instance or remand that issue to the agency. This Article advances the novel claim that courts should use the modem framework for judicial review of agency statutory interpretations to inform their resolution of this remand question. Then, using this framework, the Article identifies when remand is and is not appropriate in immigration cases. This critical analysis, which urges a departure from conventional academic wisdom, …
From Citizenship To Custody: Unwed Fathers Abroad And At Home, Albertina Antognini
From Citizenship To Custody: Unwed Fathers Abroad And At Home, Albertina Antognini
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The sex-based distinctions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) have been remarkably resilient in the face of numerous equal protection challenges. In Miller v. Albright, Nguyen v. INS, and most recently United States v. Flores-Villar — collectively the "citizenship transmission cases" — the Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the INA’s provisions that require unwed fathers, but not unwed mothers, to take a series of affirmative steps in order to transmit citizenship to their children born abroad.
The conventional account of these citizenship transmission cases is that the Court upholds sex-based distinctions that would otherwise fail …
