René Lima-Marín , Danielle C. Jefferis It's Just like Prison: Is a Civil (Nonpunitive) System of Immigration Detention Theoretically Possible? 96 Denver Law Review 955 (Summer, 2019) This Essay questions a fundamental premise on which the U.S. civil immigration detention system is built: Is a civil--that is, nonpunitive--system of immigration detention even possible? The Supreme Court has not questioned this assumption. Most scholars who critique the state of immigration confinement in the United States assume the possibility... 2019
M. Hunter Rush IT'S MY PARTY, AND I'LL DO WHAT I WANT TO: MAKING THE CASE FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW OF NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVER DENIALS 27 Washington and Lee Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice 703 (Spring, 2021) Politics and personal beliefs have become increasingly intertwined since the founding of the United States. Few issues have divided Americans more than immigration laws and policies.

Johnson It's the Economy, Stupid: the Hijacking of the Debate over Immigration Reform by Monsters, Ghosts, and Goblins (Or the War on Drugs, War on Terror, Narcoterrorists, Etc.) 13 Chapman Law Review 583 (Spring 2010) The title to this conference -- Drug War Madness: Policies, Borders, and Corruption--brings to mind many images, few of them positive. Although Mexico is not mentioned in the conference title, much of the live symposium at which this paper was originally presented discussed drug war madness in connection with the United States and Mexico. My... 2010
Kerry Martin Jail by Another Name: Ice Detention of Immigrant Criminal Defendants on Pretrial Release 25 Michigan Journal of Race and Law 147 (Winter, 2020) This Article assesses the legality of an alarming practice: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) routinely detains noncitizen criminal defendants soon after they have been released on bail, depriving them of their court-ordered freedom. Since the District of Oregon's decision in United States v. Trujillo-Alvarez, 900 F. Supp. 2d 1167 (D. Or.... 2020
Eisha Jain JAILHOUSE IMMIGRATION SCREENING 70 Duke Law Journal 1703 (May, 2021) Within the past decade, U.S. interior immigration enforcement has shifted away from the street and into the jailhouse. The rationale behind jailhouse screening is to target enforcement efforts on those who fall within federal removal priorities. This Article shows how a program undertaken with the stated aim of targeting immigration enforcement has... 2021
Emily Ryo , Ian Peacock Jailing Immigrant Detainees: a National Study of County Participation in Immigration Detention, 1983-2013 54 Law and Society Review 66 (March, 2020) Hundreds of county jails detain immigrants facing removal proceedings, a civil process. In exchange, local jails receive per diem payments from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Immigration detention thus presents a striking case of commodification of penal institutions for civil confinement purposes. Yet we know very little about the counties... 2020
Daniel H. Foote Japan's "Foreign Workers" Policy: a View from the United States 7 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 707 (December, 1993) In Japan, the issue of immigration--the so-called foreign workers problem --has been the focus of great attention and concern in recent years for many of the same reasons as in the United States and Europe. The current downturn in the Japanese economy may have reduced immediate pressures for reexamination of the status quo. Given the increasingly... 1993
Mary Holper JRAD REDUX: JUDICIAL RECOMMENDATION AGAINST IMMIGRATION DETENTION 91 George Washington Law Review 561 (June, 2023) There is a dire need for bail reform in the immigration detention system.

Tom Lininger JUDGES' ETHICAL DUTIES TO ENSURE FAIR TREATMENT OF INDIGENT PARTIES 89 Fordham Law Review 1237 (March, 2021) In this Essay, I will argue that the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Code of Judicial Conduct (the Model Code) should more squarely address the challenges faced by low-income litigants. Amendments should make clear that judges have a duty to ensure the fair treatment of the indigent in the U.S. legal system. I have written elsewhere about... 2021
Jason A. Cade Judging Immigration Equity: Deportation and Proportionality in the Supreme Court 50 U.C. Davis Law Review 1029 (February, 2017) Though it has not directly said so, the United States Supreme Court cares about proportionality in the deportation system. Or at least it thinks someone in the system should be considering the justifiability of removal decisions. As this Article demonstrates, the Court's jurisprudence across a range of substantive and procedural challenges over the... 2017

Sanford G. Hooper Judicial Minimalism and the National Dialogue on Immigration: the Constitutional Avoidance Doctrine in Zadvydas V. Davis 59 Washington and Lee Law Review 975 (Summer, 2002) The constitutional avoidance doctrine is a canon of construction dictating that where a statute is susceptible of two constructions, by one of which grave and doubtful constitutional questions arise and by the other of which such questions are avoided, [a court's] duty is to adopt the latter. Although the avoidance doctrine is nearly a century... 2002
Jayanth K. Krishnan JUDICIAL POWER--IMMIGRATION-STYLE 73 Administrative Law Review 317 (Spring, 2021) Throughout this current global pandemic, but of course, even before, former President Trump advocated enacting restrictive immigration measures.

Natalie Gomez-Velez Judicial Selection: Diversity, Discretion, Inclusion, and the Idea of Justice 48 Capital University Law Review 285 (Fall, 2020) Judicial selection norms are being tested in significant ways.

Michael Duchesne KEEPING CHILDREN WITH THEIR PARENTS: HOW U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW FAILS TO UPHOLD THE INTERNATIONAL RIGHT TO FAMILY UNITY 32 Minnesota Journal of International Law 197 (Summer, 2023) There is a fundamental right to family unity based in international law which the United States is currently failing to protect. Specifically, certain U.S. immigration laws cause unnecessary separation of children from parents for extended periods of time--or even indefinitely. Although U.S. immigration laws have been historically pro-family, a... 2023
Fareed Nassor Hayat KILLING DUE PROCESS: DOUBLE JEOPARDY, WHITE SUPREMACY AND GANG PROSECUTIONS 69 UCLA Law Review Discourse 18 (2021) The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution holds that no person shall be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb for the same offense. Read plainly, a person cannot be tried or punished more than once for a single crime. Yet in recent decades, as legislatures have expanded the prosecutorial state with weapons designed to punish more criminal... 2021
Maeve Glass KILLING PRECEDENT: THE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE CONSTITUTION 123 Columbia Law Review 1135 (May, 2023) This Essay offers a revisionist account of the Slaughter-House Cases. It argues that the opinion's primary significance lies not in its gutting of the Privileges or Immunities Clause but in its omission of a people's archive of slavery. Decades before the decision, Black abolitionists began compiling the testimonies of refugees who had fled... 2023

Can Congress devolve this power to... 2001
Cass R. Sunstein Lapidation and Apology 2020 University of Chicago Legal Forum 295 (2020) Groups of people, outraged by some real or imagined transgression, often respond in a way that is wildly disproportionate to the occasion, thus ruining the transgressor's day, month, year, or life. To capture that phenomenon, we might repurpose an old word: lapidation. Technically, the word is a synonym for stoning, but it sounds much less violent.... 2020
