Since its creation in 2003, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has become one of the largest investigative arms of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and made considerable progress in identifying and removing criminal aliens through its Criminal Alien Program (CAP).

If You Want Something Done Right . . . : Chicanos Por La Causa V. Napolitano and the Return of Federalism to Immigration Law |
43 Akron Law Review 603 (2010) |
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, the lynchpin of federal regulation of illegal immigration, has failed, and as a result, the State of Arizona has taken action on its own. This action flies in the face of conventional thought about the role of states in regulating immigration, not to mention the Constitutional directive that... |

Ignoring the Lessons of History: How the "Open Borders" Myth Led to Repeated Patterns in State and Local Immigration Control |
27 Journal of Civil Rights & Economic Development 467 (Winter, 2014) |
No doubt local efforts to control immigration are on the rise. Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 is the most well-known example of this trend, though other examples exist as well. Most existing criticism attacks such efforts as violating the supposed exclusive federal control of the immigration sphere Yet, such arguments, in part, are based upon a myth... |

When federal immigration and local Minnesota law enforcement agents entered several homes in Willmar in which undocumented workers were thought to be living, they were asked to show a search warrant.

For many years the United States (U.S.) has struggled with the high costs of illegal immigration, mounting to $5.4 billion in public assistance alone in 1990, according to one study.

Illegal Encouragement: the Federal Statute That Makes it Illegal to "Encourage" Immigrants to Come to the United States and Why it Is Unconstitutionally Overbroad |
60 Boston College Law Review 1205 (April, 2019) |
Abstract: Section 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) of Title 8 of the United States Code makes it illegal to encourage an alien to come to or reside in the United States. Since that section's 1986 amendment, the circuits have struggled to adopt a consistent definition for encourage. Though some circuits have adopted a broad definition, the Third Circuit has... |

Illegal Entry as Crime, Deportation as Punishment: Immigration Status and the Criminal Process |
58 UCLA Law Review 1417 (August, 2011) |
In Padilla v. Kentucky, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Sixth Amendment required counsel to advise clients pleading guilty that conviction might result in deportation. The Court rested its decision on the idea that this information was important to the client's decisionmaking process. However, the Court did not explore a stronger reason for... |

The first decade of the twenty-first century has been grim for immigrants to the United States--both legal and undocumented--and the lawyers and advocates who work on their behalf.

IMMIGRANT TORTS |
57 U.C. Davis Law Review 1059 (December, 2023) |
In 2022, the Supreme Court effectively gutted a long-standing constitutional remedy for torts committed by federal officers. In the process, it seemingly immunized even the most serious abuses committed by Border Patrol agents. Such dramatic legal transformation has occurred despite--and perhaps because of--the soaring numbers of migrants at the... |

Since the end of World War II immigration in the core industrial democracies has been increasing.
