Putting a Hold on Ice: Why Law Enforcement Should Refuse to Honor Immigration Detainers |
64 American University Law Review 109 (October, 2014) |
Beginning in the 1980s, immigration law began to place greater emphasis on noncitizens' past criminal convictions as grounds for deportation. This shift led to the deportation of many noncitizens with strong ties to the United States. In its effort to deport noncitizens with criminal convictions, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has... |

Professor Jack Chin has written a provocative paper that, as is characteristic of his work, has much to commend to it. His basic thesis is that the gulf between the constitutional law of immigration and that which applies to citizens is not as great as is frequently stated.

Race and Immigration Law: a Paradigm Shift? |
2000 University of Illinois Law Review 517 (2000) |
For many years, controversies impacting many areas of legal scholarship have left the field of immigration law virtually untouched. Thus, although other areas of law have felt the critique advanced by critical scholars, immigration law has proceeded as a virtually self-contained unit. In doing so, immigration law has developed a paradigm for legal... |

Arnold Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California in the 2003 recall campaign is rife with cruel ironies.

Race shaped property law for everyone in the United States, and we are all the poorer for it. This transformation began in the colonial era, when demands for Indian land annexation and a slave-based economy created new legal innovations in recording, foreclosure, and commodification of property.

Key to this framework is that antitrust treats all consumers monolithically; that consumers are... |
