Description
At a time when immigration law is in flux, Understanding Immigration Law and Practice offers a thorough, accessible, and practical approach to understand and apply U.S. laws and regulations to help protect refugees, bring needed workers to the U.S, prevent separation of and reunite families, and provide relief to foreign nationals facing removal proceedings. Attuned to the sensitivity and responsibility necessary to ensure just results in high stakes immigration cases, the authors, who have a combined 35-plus years of front-line experience, provide readers with in-depth information and highlight readers recent changes and ongoing litigation where applicable. In addition, the book offers a new section on enforcement in both in the non-and employment-based contexts, providing avenues for discussions on matters of policy. They generously and freely offer their knowledge and insights into the complex legal issues faced by immigration clients, followed up by proposing strategies for the professionals seeking to help them. New to the Second Edition: Major revisions that reflect a new focus on strict enforcement of immigration laws and the use of Executive Orders and procedural changes that affect the implementation and application of the law including: Migrant Protection Protocols Zero Tolerance Policy Safe Third Country Proposals Extreme vetting Muslim Ban Updated discussions of significant legal changes arising from case law such as: Pereira v. Sessions, a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court and subsequent decisions by the Board of Immigration Appeals and circuit courts, highlighting tensions around what information a valid notice to appear should contain. Matter of A-B, which sought to categorically exclude asylum claims based on domestic and gang-based violence Matter of L-A-B-R-, which severely restricts the use of continuances in removal proceedings Matter of Castro Tum, which limits the ability of immigration judges to close removal proceedings administratively.
