Increased enforcement under the Trump administration has led to the arrests and detention of tens of thousands of noncitizens. This panel will discuss strategies to advocate for clients’ release from detention, including parole requests, bond hearings before the immigration court, and habeas petitions. We will also discuss who is subject to mandatory detention and what steps a practitioner can take to challenge a mandatory detention determination. We will also discuss stays of removal before the administrative agencies and the federal courts.
Removal Workshops
11:00 am ~ 12:30 pm
This session is geared for individuals who are attorneys or fully accredited representatives who practice in removal defense. At this session you will have an opportunity to start conversations that promote learning and sharing of effective legal practices and challenges around serving individuals in removal proceedings.
09:00 am ~ 10:30 am
Having a case denied in immigration court does not mean the end of the road for our clients. The law provides for two important types of appeals: an administrative appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals and a petition for review submitted to federal court. We will discuss the process for submitting each type of appeal, the standard of review for these appeals, and jurisdictional issues surrounding federal court review.
04:15 pm ~ 05:45 pm
In this interactive panel we will cover some of the most pressing issues in enforcement and removal. We will discuss the latest enforcement trends and policy updates, including the expansion of expedited removal and its application to those within the U.S. and the Laken Riley Act and related changes to mandatory detention. Panelists will also cover how you can prepare and advocate for your clients in light of these changes.
