Deportation And The War On Independence , Stephen H. Legomsky

Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary

Judicial independence, despite its long history and cherished place in American jurisprudence, has periodically been attacked by those who disagree with particular outcomes. In recent years, Congress and the executive branch have mounted a sustained assault on decisional independence in the adjudication of deportation (now called “removal”) cases. Various actions taken by Attorney General Ashcroft in 2002 and 2003 and still in place today have left both immigration judges and the members of the Board of Immigration Appeals without any meaningful decisional independence.

Murky Immigration Law And The Challenges Facing Immigration Removal And Benefits Adjudication, Jill E. Family Mar 2013

Murky Immigration Law And The Challenges Facing Immigration Removal And Benefits Adjudication, Jill E. Family

Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary

Immigration adjudication is more diverse than it may seem. Scholars tend to focus on one aspect of administrative immigration adjudication, the decision-making process established to determine whether an individual may be removed (deported) from the United States.
