The Immigration Prosecutor And The Judge Examining The Role Of The Judiciary In Prosecutorial Discretion Decisions, Shoba S. Wadhia Dec 2011

The Immigration Prosecutor And The Judge Examining The Role Of The Judiciary In Prosecutorial Discretion Decisions, Shoba S. Wadhia

Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia

Legal scholars and judges have long examined the role of judicial review in immigration matters, and also criticized the impacts of the “plenary power” doctrine and statutory deletions of judicial review for certain immigration cases. Absent from this scholarship is a serious examination of the judiciary’s role in immigration decisions involving prosecutorial discretion. I attribute this absence to both a silent concession that prosecutorial discretion decisions are automatically barred from judicial review because of the plain language of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); the judicial review “exceptions” in the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), and the cases that analyze these …

Sharing Secrets: Examining Deferred Action and Transparency in Immigration Law

Abstract

This Article is about deferred action and transparency in related immigration cases falling under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). While scholars from other genres have written extensively on the topic of prosecutorial discretion, the subject is largely absent from immigration scholarship, with the exception of early research conducted by Leon Wildes in the late 1970s and early 2000s, and a law review article I published in 2010 outlining the origins of prosecutorial discretion in immigration law and related lessons that can be drawn from administrative …

Illegal Immigration And The Dilemma Of American Unions, Vernon Briggs May 2011

Illegal Immigration And The Dilemma Of American Unions, Vernon Briggs

Vernon M Briggs Jr

[Excerpt] Over its long and often turbulent evolution, the American labor movement has confronted few issues as persistently and as difficult has those related to subject of immigration. By definition, immigration affects the size of the labor force at any given time as well as its geographical distribution and skill composition. These vital influences, in turn, affect national, regional and local labor market conditions. Most immigrants directly join the labor force upon entering the country, as do eventually most of their family members. Hence, organized labor never has ignored immigration trends. As Samuel Gompers, one of the founders of the …

A Broader View Of The U.S. Immigration Adjudication Problem, Jill Family Dec 2010

A Broader View Of The U.S. Immigration Adjudication Problem, Jill Family

Jill E. Family

Immigration adjudication is ailing. A combination of problems within the administrative system and steady efforts to narrow the role of the federal courts has resulted in a system subject to much criticism. It is not unusual to find court of appeals judges describing the administrative adjudication system as dysfunctional.

Eleni Karageorgiou

The article takes a thorough look at the national legal framework concerning registrations in the National Record of Undesirable Foreigners and the Schengen Information System (SIS) within the context of the Schengen Agreement (1985) and the common rules adopted by the participating States. It analyzes the nature and implications of the actual administrative act of registration for foreign nationals in light of the pertaining domestic case law. A critical approach of the harmonization of Greek legislation to the Schengen rules is also being attempted.

The Role Of Prosecutorial Discretion In Immigration Law, Shoba S. Wadhia Dec 2009

The Role Of Prosecutorial Discretion In Immigration Law, Shoba S. Wadhia

Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia

The concept of "prosecutorial discretion" appears in the immigration statute, agency memoranda and court decisions about select immigration enforcement decisions. Prosecutorial discretion extends to decisions about which offenses or populations to target; whom to stop, interrogate, and arrest; whether to detain or release a noncitizen; whether to initiate removal proceedings; and whether to execute a removal order; among other decisions. Similar to the criminal context, prosecutorial discretion in the immigration context is an important tool for achieving cost-effective law enforcement and relief for individuals who present desirable qualities or humanitarian circumstances. Yet there is a dearth of literature on the …

Exceptional Justice: A Discourse Ethical Contribution To The Immigrant Question, David Ingram Dec 2008

Exceptional Justice: A Discourse Ethical Contribution To The Immigrant Question, David Ingram

David Ingram

I argue that the exception must be a legitimate possibility within law as a revolutionary project, in much the same way that civil disobedience is. In this sense, the exception is not outside law if by "law" we mean not positive law as defined by extant legal documents (statutes, legislative committee reports, written judgments, etc.) but law as a living tradition consisting of both abstract norms and a concrete historical understanding of them. So construed, the exception is what can be exemplary - a law unto itself that best interprets and creatively extends (and transcends) the law that already exists, …
