Discretion, Deference, And Dysfunction: U.S. Refugee Resettlement From Egypt, Cassandra Mcclellan
Discretion, Deference, And Dysfunction: U.S. Refugee Resettlement From Egypt, Cassandra Mcclellan
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis investigates refugee resettlement from Egypt to the U.S., as facilitated by UNHCR Egypt and the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). Accordingly, the research questions ask what factors determine the volume and profile of refugees UNHCR Egypt submits to USRAP for resettlement, as well as the related determining factors for refugees rejected from and accepted to USRAP. A fourth research question examines the impacts of U.S. refugee policy on the resettlement system in Egypt, including on UNHCR Egypt and refugees. To answer these questions, the thesis first delves into the history of U.S. immigration and refugee policies, with a …
But For Borders: The Protection Gap For Internally Displaced Persons, Anita Sinha
But For Borders: The Protection Gap For Internally Displaced Persons, Anita Sinha
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Internal displacement, encapsulating the phenomenon of people who are dislocated from their homes but remain within the border of their countries of origin, was once a forced migratory occurrence interchangeable with cross-border migration. This changed after the Second World War with the promulgation of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, which was premised on an insistence of making a legal line in the sand based on which side of a border displacement ultimately transpires. Internally displaced persons (IDPs)—in recent history, presently, and in the projected future—far outpace the number of people displaced outside the border of their …

Precedent, Fairness, And Common Sense Dictate That Padilla V. Kentucky Should Apply Retroactively, William N. Conlow
Precedent, Fairness, And Common Sense Dictate That Padilla V. Kentucky Should Apply Retroactively, William N. Conlow
Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy
In 2010, the Supreme Court decided the landmark case of Padilla v. Kentucky. The Padilla Court's holding was that failure of counsel to advise a non-citizen criminal defendant about the immigration consequences of a guilty plea constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel. This article addresses whether Padilla applies to convictions that occurred before Padilla was decided, in March 2010.
First, this article provides background on relevant immigration law, Padilla v. Kentucky, and the Supreme Court's retroactivity case law. Then, this article considers how lower courts have addressed the issue of retroactivity in the approximately twenty-seven months after the Padilla decision. This …

Immigration Justice Clinic Releases New Report That Exposes Failures Of Immigration And Customs Enforcement To Provide Language Access To Detained People, Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic
Immigration Justice Clinic Releases New Report That Exposes Failures Of Immigration And Customs Enforcement To Provide Language Access To Detained People, Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic
Cardozo News 2024
In early September, the Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic (IJC) released Held Incommunicado: The Failed Promise of Language Access in Immigration Detention, the first report of its kind, focusing on how language access was denied to those who have limited English proficiency being held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities. The denial of language access the report uncovered includes multiple instances of ICE not providing translators and interpreters, impeding detained peoples' ability to request medical care and legal assistance, and demonstrates that the agency failed to meet its own guidelines.
Expanding Healthcare Access For The Undocumented Immigrant Community: The Heal For Immigrant Families Act Of 2023, Perla Torres Estrada
Expanding Healthcare Access For The Undocumented Immigrant Community: The Heal For Immigrant Families Act Of 2023, Perla Torres Estrada
The Gettysburg Journal for Public Policy
When it comes to the topic of universal healthcare, most of us will readily agree that healthcare is a human right. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of who should be granted this right, and if it should be left to the free market to determine access and affordability. Specifically, the political debate on expanding healthcare access to undocumented immigrants in the United States revolve around concerns over costs, legality, and equity. Proponents maintain that it is a human right whereas opponents question the potential burden on taxpayers and the implication for immigration policy. The HEAL …
Administrative Arrest Warrants: Armed Encounters Outside The Judicial Process, Meg Penrose
Administrative Arrest Warrants: Armed Encounters Outside The Judicial Process, Meg Penrose
Faculty Scholarship
This Article considers three related questions. First, is a person “seized” under the Fourth Amendment when law enforcement restricts a person’s movements in their home and limits their ability to leave or go about their business? Second, does the answer to this seizure inquiry turn on the person’s citizenship status? And third, how do lawyers ensure that courts discard bad law? This last question is not a qualitative assessment— with good and bad law being tied to one’s legal ideology. Rather, certain legal holdings, dating back over half a century, have been whittled away if not entirely eroded. When this …

Us-Mexico Relations: Addressing Challenges At The Border, The Brookings Institution
Brookings Mountain West Special Events
Mexico’s president-elect Claudia Sheinbaum will begin her six-year term in October as the U.S. presidential campaign enters its final stretch. How the next U.S. administration and Congress manage relations with new leadership in Mexico will affect border security, immigration policies, trade and energy relations, and counter-narcotics and anti-crime cooperation. What tools can policymakers in both countries use to advance positive outcomes? What are the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the United States and Mexico?
The Brookings Foreign Policy program in partnership with Brookings Mountain West at UNLV hosted a discussion on the state of U.S.-Mexico relations. Panelists analyzed …

The Limits Of Immigrant Resilience, Huyen Pham, Natalie C. Cook, Ernesto Amaral, Raymond Robertson, Suojin Wang
Faculty Scholarship
Economists have identified important adaptations that immigrant workers have made to weather economic crises. During times of economic contraction, immigrant workers have moved across industries or geographical locations, downshifted to part-time work, and accepted lower wages to stay employed. Evidence from the Great Recession (2007–2009) shows the benefits of that economic resilience: immigrant workers were more likely than native-born workers to remain continuously employed, to have shorter periods of unemployment when they lost their jobs, and to regain jobs more quickly in the recovery period. Of course, these adaptations had significant personal costs for immigrant workers and their families, but …
What Congress Needs To Break The Immigration Reform Stalemate, Maryam T. Stevenson
What Congress Needs To Break The Immigration Reform Stalemate, Maryam T. Stevenson
Catholic University Law Review
This article provides a policy proposal for an immigration reform package that could be successful in the modern-day Congress. It is the second article of a series that began with an analysis of why immigration reform has been unsuccessful over the past 30 years despite bipartisan support. That article argued that polarization combined with the framing of immigration by the media and political elites has caused the public to view immigration as a one-dimensional policy largely defined by border concerns, when in reality, it is a robust policy area that encompasses a number of various issues (i.e. family immigration, skilled …
Explaining The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Stalemate In Congress, Maryam T. Stevenson
Explaining The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Stalemate In Congress, Maryam T. Stevenson
Catholic University Law Review
Historically, congressional policy goals on immigration have vacillated from open to restrictive as various micro and macro level factors have changed both inside and outside the Beltway. While Congress has been subjected to some immigration lobbies over time, it has largely been isolated from a general public opinion on immigration policy until fairly recently. Specifically, while Congress was successful at passing a variety of immigration policies through 1990 without much regard to public opinion, it has since failed even amid bipartisan congressional and presidential support. This article will offer a number of theories in order to explain why Congress has …
Persistent Discord: The Adjudication Of National Security Deportation Cases In Canada (2018–2020), Simon Wallace
Persistent Discord: The Adjudication Of National Security Deportation Cases In Canada (2018–2020), Simon Wallace
Dalhousie Law Journal
This study asks two research questions. First, how many people get deported from Canada for security reasons and what are those reasons? This empirical study of deportation cases (2018–2020) finds that the number of national security and terrorism deportation cases in Canada is at a record high and that Canada’s deportation tribunal is the country’s busiest national security tribunal. Despite this volume, most cases (sixty per cent) turned on the same allegation. During the period under study, Canada regularly moved to deport members of the Bangladesh National Party (BNP), claiming that the group intentionally used terror-based tactics.
The second research …
The Importance Of Administrative Appeals As Second Instance Bodies To Strengthen Migration And Asylum Systems, Gabriela Richard Rodriguez
The Importance Of Administrative Appeals As Second Instance Bodies To Strengthen Migration And Asylum Systems, Gabriela Richard Rodriguez
Refugee Law & Migration Studies Brief
According to data from UNHCR's Report, "Global Trends - Forced Displacement in 2022," there were 108.4 million forcibly displaced people worldwide in 2022; in the first half of 2023 alone, there were 110 million displaced people, indicating that 2023 could double the figures of 2022. Based on my experience as an administrative judge in the Administrative Migration Tribunal in Costa Rica— a body of second instance in the migration system— I consider that, in view of the impact that the migration and asylum systems had had in countries of transit and destination, it is essential that there be second instances …
Advancing The Due Process Right To Appointed Counsel In Immigration Removal Proceedings, Chloe Schalit
Advancing The Due Process Right To Appointed Counsel In Immigration Removal Proceedings, Chloe Schalit
Refugee Law & Migration Studies Brief
Right now, noncitizens only have the right to an attorney if they can afford one. While courts have grappled with the inherent due process issue accompanying this standard, no court has held that noncitizens have the right to a government- appointed attorney. This paper promotes the provision of government-appointed attorneys to noncitizens in removal proceedings in immigration court under a due process lens. This paper will first briefly examine the difference between criminal and civil matters related to the Sixth Amendment right to an appointed attorney. Next, the paper will engage in a Fifth Amendment due process analysis, ultimately concluding …

CBP One is a mobile app that allows asylum seekers to schedule appointments for inspection before entering the United States ("U.S."). First, this paper will discuss the ethical issues posed by CBP One—specifically asylum seekers' unequal access to the app. Second, this paper will examine the equal protection implications posed by CBP One and the application of constitutional rights to noncitizens inside and outside the U.S. Next, it will address the ongoing litigation concerning the extension of constitutional rights to noncitizens arriving at the southern border. Lastly, it will discuss the incompatibility of CBP One with the Immigration and Nationality …
The Right To Have Rights Or The Right To Have Life? An Assessment Of Proactive Citizenship-Stripping To Fulfill The State Duty Of Non-Refoulment, Omar Khoury
Pace International Law Review
Especially since the collapse of the Islamic State Caliphate in 2019, a fierce debate has arisen in international legal policy and within domestic governments about what to do with citizens who have committed acts of terror abroad. While repatriation and extradition are possible solutions, many States have refused to repatriate some citizens back and have revoked their nationalities such that those individuals are unable to return to their citizenship-country to face prosecution and/or punishment. Citizenship-stripping, however, may not always be legal. But if a State contends instead that it must deprive the citizen of nationality because, in being repatriated back …
Immigration Enforcement Creep In Immigrant & Employee Rights, Angela D. Morrison
Immigration Enforcement Creep In Immigrant & Employee Rights, Angela D. Morrison
Faculty Scholarship
As the only agency charged with enforcing the Immigration Reform and Control Act’s antidiscrimination provisions, the Immigrant and Employee Rights (“IER”) section of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division plays an important role in protecting worker rights. Yet over the past decade, IER has moved from worker protection to immigration enforcement: a phenomenon this Article terms “immigration enforcement creep.”
This observation is based on ten years of data collected from IER’s settlement agreements, complaints filed, and telephone interventions. The data show that rather than protect noncitizen workers from unlawful discrimination, IER has moved its focus to enforcing immigration laws …

Drawing from legal analysis, empirical research, and real-life cases, this paper explores the historical context, current legal framework, and pressing issues concerning farmworker rights in the United States.
Beginning with an examination of the historical roots of farm labor exploitation, the article elucidates the …

Among these organizations, Casa Frida Refugio LGBT stands out as a significant service provider, specifically for LGBT+ migrants. This study engages in a qualitative case study analysis of the organization Casa Frida, drawing from interviews conducted with nine LGBTQ+ migrants and refugees, personal observations, and Casa Frida’s website and social media accounts. The research seeks to answer two central questions: Firstly, what role does an LGBT+ specific service provider like Casa …

Evaluating Climate Migration Through Discourse Analysis Of International Policy Framework And “El Progreso” Community Blog, Olusola Akanni
Master's Theses
ABSTRACT
Environmental changes are driven by global warming, such as rising temperatures, melting ice, and increased natural disasters which directly affect the living conditions of huma thereby driving migration. This study highlights the inadequacies of current migration management policies as the United States is seeing a significant influx of migrants from Central America. The focus of this discourse analysis is on the role of inadequate policies and the failure of international efforts like the Paris Climate Agreement in addressing the issue of climate-induced migration effectively. Despite the goals set by such international agreements to mitigate the effects of climate change …

Human Trafficking: Foreign National Adolescent Survivors In The United States, A Call To Expand Otip Eligibility Letters, Ailleene L. Maldonado
Master's Theses
The Office of Trafficking in Persons grants child eligibility letters to foreign national minors who have been confirmed victims of trafficking. These OTIP Eligibility Letters provide recipients with public benefits to the same extent as a refugee but do not grant protection from removal or pathways towards legal permanent residence. Additionally, many OTIP recipients have unaccompanied minor status in the United States. In order to capture the experience of OTIP recipients, this research explores existing literature on trafficking trauma and migration stressors/ trauma. Additionally, this research identifies international and national legal frameworks to define trafficking and acknowledge the responsibility that …
Courthouse Doors Are Closed To Foreign Citizens For International Law Torts Committed By American Corporations, Gisell Landrian
Courthouse Doors Are Closed To Foreign Citizens For International Law Torts Committed By American Corporations, Gisell Landrian
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
This Note examines the intersection of corporate accountability, human rights violations, and legal recourse for victims of child slavery in the cocoa industry inspired by the Court’s decision Nestle USA, Inc. v. Doe. This decision further limited the scope of the Alien Tort Statute, hindering the plaintiffs’ quest for justice for international human rights violations. The Note analyzes the decision in Nestle USA, Inc. v. Doe through (1) an examination of the Court’s limitations on the Alien Tort Statute and (2) an analysis of the Canadian Supreme Court’s decision in Nevsun.
The Detention Of Immigration Policy: How States Are Commandeering Dhs Enforcement Guidelines, Brianna Riguera
The Detention Of Immigration Policy: How States Are Commandeering Dhs Enforcement Guidelines, Brianna Riguera
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
In 2021, the Department of Homeland Security issued immigration guidelines that de-emphasized detention and removal of non-citizens who, aside from being undocumented, are otherwise contributing members of communities across the United States. However, Arizona, Montana, Ohio, Texas, and Louisiana challenged these guidelines, launching a nuanced legal dispute that concerned states standing under Article III, prosecutorial discretion, and nationwide preliminary injunctions. In United States v. Texas, the Court ruled 8-1 that the states lacked standing and reversed the Fifth Circuit’s nationwide injunction, but the majority opinion failed to address the other legal issues that are pressing on a rife debate about …
