THE IMPACT OF INSULATING IMMIGRATION COURTS FROM JUDICIAL REVIEW ON AMERICA'S NEW GENERATION OF FAMILIES |
80 Washington and Lee Law Review 1297 (Summer, 2023) |
This Note could be read as another Note addressing Congress's power to strip jurisdiction from Article III courts. Yet, when this power is exercised in the immigration context, its impact extends far beyond the realm of checks and balances. Instead, this Note is about the insulation of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and its unfettered... |

THE LANGUAGE OF RECORD: FINDING AND REMEDYING PREJUDICIAL VIOLATIONS OF LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT INDIVIDUALS' DUE PROCESS RIGHTS IN IMMIGRATION PROCEEDINGS |
55 Connecticut Law Review Online 1 (January, 2023) |
In immigration court proceedings, court interpreters interpret only those statements made directly to and by the limited English proficient (LEP) party. Thus, LEP individuals can only understand what is being spoken to them, not what is being asserted about them. In asylum interviews, applicants must provide their own interpreter, and failure to... |

THE LEADERSHIP LIMITATION ON PERSECUTORS AND TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS |
108 Cornell Law Review Online 60 (May, 2023) |
The asylum system in the United States is a melting pot of political discourse, international relations, and novel questions of law. Among other legal requirements, an asylee bears the burden of showing (1) they were persecuted or have a well-founded fear of future persecution and (2) that the persecution was committed by the government or that the... |

THE NEW BORDER ASYLUM ADJUDICATION SYSTEM: SPEED, FAIRNESS, AND THE REPRESENTATION PROBLEM |
66 Howard Law Journal 571 (Spring, 2023) |
In 2022, the Biden administration implemented what the New York Times has described as potentially the most sweeping change to the asylum process in a quarter-century.

THE PERCEPTIONAL GAP: RETHINKING 'THE MIGRANT THREAT' |
25 NYU Journal of Legislation and Public Policy 103 (2022-2023) |
Modern policies on refugee protection increasingly derive from a defining conceptualization: the migrant threat. This conceptualization ensues from a perceptional gap that portrays certain migrants as undesirable for developed host countries. This gap is built on natural and unnatural distortions of reality leading to patterns of distrust,... |

THE PRIVATE SUPPRESSION OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS |

On September 1, 2021, Texas's abortion ban, S.B. 8, went into effect even as the constitutional right to an abortion was under siege at the Supreme Court. It not only prohibited almost all abortions after six weeks but also allowed any private party to sue those who, knowingly or unwittingly, aid or abet such procedures. Texas's law has been... |

Eventually, this article will turn to the task at hand, using a critique of courts' use of originalism and the categorical approach to illustrate how firearms offenses are characterized as deportable offenses.

THE RIGHT TO MIGRATE |
27 Lewis & Clark Law Review 95 (2023) |
Since the late-19th century, the Supreme Court has insisted that the preservation of national sovereignty requires a constitutional chasm between immigration law and ordinary law. If the Court is to bridge that chasm, it must reimagine the longstanding premise of the federal immigration power that the presence of noncitizens in U.S. territory... |

The Second Amendment has a people problem. In 2008, District of Columbia v. Heller expanded the scope of the Second Amendment, grounding it in an individualized right of self-protection. At the same time, Heller's rhetoric limited the people of the Second Amendment to law-abiding citizens. In 2022, New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n v. Bruen... |
