The Selective Deportation Of Same-Gender Partners: In Search Of The "Rara Avis", Victor C. Romero
The Selective Deportation Of Same-Gender Partners: In Search Of The "Rara Avis", Victor C. Romero
Journal Articles
This article seeks to explore the possibility that a selective deportation of a same-gender partner who has overstayed her visa constitutes an outrageous case under the AADC test. Its modest goal is to discourage the INS from ever pursuing such a strategy, knowing that there are probably many who believe that same-gender overstays, even if civilly united in Vermont, are not the ideal candidates for "suspect class" status under U.S. constitutional law.

Protecting America First: Deporting Aliens Associated With Designated Terrorist Organizations That Have Committed Terrorism In America In The Face Of Actual Threats To National Security, Dana B. Weiss
Cleveland State Law Review
In light of the devastation and destruction caused by the September 11th attacks and the remaining imminent threat of more attacks in this country, this Note proposes legislation that would provide for removal of aliens who are merely associated with a known terrorist organization that has committed acts of terrorism in the United States.
