Human Rights At The Border: European-Union—Moroccan Relations In The Wake Of The 2013 Migratory Policy, Anashua Dutta 2015 SIT Graduate Institute - Study Abroad

Human Rights At The Border: European-Union—Moroccan Relations In The Wake Of The 2013 Migratory Policy, Anashua Dutta

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

Morocco’s border with the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla has brought the country into direct relations with the European Union (EU) on the issues of border control and migration. In response to the growing human rights violations towards migrants and refugees enumerated in the Conseil Nationale des Droits de l’Homme’s (CNDH) 2013 report, King Muhammad VI passed a migratory policy that emphasized preservation of human rights within Morocco’s borders. This study examines the effects of Morocco’s relationship with the EU on the implementation of the human-rights aspects of Morocco’s 2013 migratory policy. Using the semi-structured interview approach, I will …


Deferred Action: Considering What Is Lost, Elizabeth Keyes 2015 University of Baltimore School of Law

Deferred Action: Considering What Is Lost, Elizabeth Keyes

All Faculty Scholarship

This response to Professor Motomura considers what is lost through the elaboration of formally defined boundaries around prosecutorial discretion. Professor Motomura and others in this Issue rightly extol the many benefits of the President's November 2014 executive actions. While I share the view that those benefits are considerable, I believe a full accounting requires us to consider what gets lost in this process, including identification of the immigrants in the limbo space between the actions' prospective beneficiaries at the one end and those who are priorities for removal on the other. This Essay focuses on the cost that comes from …

Plenary Power Is Dead! Long Live Plenary Power, Michael Kagan 2015 University of Nevada, Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law

Plenary Power Is Dead! Long Live Plenary Power, Michael Kagan

Michigan Law Review First Impressions

For decades, scholars of immigration law have anticipated the demise of the plenary power doctrine. The Supreme Court could have accomplished this in its recent decision in Kerry v. Din, or it could have reaffirmed plenary power. Instead, the Court produced a splintered decision that did neither. This Essay examines the long process of attrition that has significantly gutted the traditional plenary power doctrine with regard to procedural due process, while leaving it largely intact with regard to substantive constitutional rights.


Substantive Due Process For Noncitizens: Lessons From Obergefell, Anthony O'Rourke 2015 State University of New York Buffalo Law School

Substantive Due Process For Noncitizens: Lessons From Obergefell, Anthony O'Rourke

Michigan Law Review First Impressions

The state of Texas denies birth certificates to children born in the United States—and thus citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment—if their parents are undocumented immigrants with identification provided by their home countries’ consulates. What does this have to do with same-sex marriage? In a previous article, I demonstrated that the Supreme Court’s substantive due process analysis in United States v. Windsor is particularly relevant to the state’s regulation of undocumented immigrants. This Essay builds on my earlier analysis by examining United States v. Obergefell’s applications outside the context of same-sex marriage. Obergefell’s due process holding, I argue, can …

Extraterritorial Abductions: A Newly Developing International Standard, Martin Feinrider 2015 The University of Akron

Extraterritorial Abductions: A Newly Developing International Standard, Martin Feinrider

Akron Law Review

It is these extra-legal extraterritorial apprehensions, and their status under international law, that will be the subject of this study. Here, the focus will be on the question of protection against acts of outright abduction. The conclusions reached in this study, however, would be applicable to any extra-legal extraterritorial abduction in which the apprehending State could be considered to be guilty of complicity. It is the problem of the extraterritorial violation of human rights that is to be addressed.


The Fourth Amendment: In Search Of Illegal Aliens Immigration And Naturalization Service V. Delgado, Cristina A. Navarro 2015 The University of Akron

The Fourth Amendment: In Search Of Illegal Aliens Immigration And Naturalization Service V. Delgado, Cristina A. Navarro

Akron Law Review

Throughout the nation's history, illegal immigration has generated considerable debate. Particularly important is the problem of illegal immigration from Mexico. The importance is due to the potential impact on Mexico/United States relations, and the sheer numbers involved. Many people believe that immigrants are primarily responsible for the United State's economic problems. As a result, much attention is being focused on the immigration issue. In order to combat illegal immigration the trend is to toughen up immigration policies and extend the authority of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). One way INS authority is exercised is through "area control operations" known …

Bringing Down The Barriers: American Laws That Impede Trade With The Cis, Arthur M. Dula, Lynne M. Tracy, Renee A. Rubino 2015 The University of Akron

Bringing Down The Barriers: American Laws That Impede Trade With The Cis, Arthur M. Dula, Lynne M. Tracy, Renee A. Rubino

Akron Law Review

It is necessary first to establish whether current trade restrictions apply to all former constituent parts of the Soviet Union or only to Russia. Second, the American-Russian trade relationship resembles a minefield. Some of the most powerful trade restrictions remain firmly in place. Others have been defused. This article will attempt to provide some guidance through the minefield. Finally, attention will be given to pending legislation that affects trade with Russia. Hopefully, this analysis will provide some insight into: (1) the past U.S. trade with the former Soviet Union; (2) where the relationship is now; and (3) what direction it …


Sale V. Haitian Centers Council, Inc.: Closing The Golden Door, Dennis E. Wasitis 2015 The University of Akron

Sale V. Haitian Centers Council, Inc.: Closing The Golden Door, Dennis E. Wasitis

Akron Law Review

The purpose of this note is to carefully examine the Supreme Court's reasoning in Sale v. Haitian Centers Council, Inc. Part II sketches the contours of our recent policies with Haiti, and highlights the relevant refugee law involved. Part III dissects the case itself and presents the facts, procedure, and reasoning of the majority and minority. Finally, Part IV probes the strength of the court's analysis, and assesses the future implications of the decision.
