Remedies For The Wrongly Deported: Territoriality, Finality, And The Significance Of Departure, Rachel Rosenbloom Jul 2012

Remedies For The Wrongly Deported: Territoriality, Finality, And The Significance Of Departure, Rachel Rosenbloom

Rachel E. Rosenbloom

In recent years, thousands of longtime legal residents have been deported based on erroneous interpretations of the 1996 amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act. Their return to the United States is precluded by a pair of Department of Justice regulations barring immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) from correcting errors in removal proceedings once a deportee has left the United States.

Rachel E. Rosenbloom

This article argues that the immediate custodian rule has no place in the adjudication of immigration-related habeas actions. I propose that in place of this rule, courts should require only that an appropriate respondent, which may include the Attorney General, be served within the court's jurisdiction; after that, the proper forum should be determined through a venue analysis that considers factors such as the location of witnesses, the location of evidence, and convenience to the parties. Part I provides a brief overview of the use of habeas corpus petitions by INS detainees. Part II situates the custodian debate within relevant …
