Download or read book The Accidental History of the U S Immigration Courts written by Alison Peck and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite public concern with the increasing politicization of U.S. immigration courts, few people are aware of the system's fundamental flaw: the immigration courts are not really 'courts' but an office of the Department of Justice--the nation's law enforcement agency. Alison Peck's original and surprising account shows how paranoia sparked by World War II and the War on Terror drove the structure of the immigration courts. Focusing on previously unstudied decisions in the Roosevelt and Bush administrations, this book divulges both the human tragedy of our current immigration system and the human crises that led to its creation. Peck provides an accessible legal analysis of recent events to make the case for independent immigration courts, proposing that the courts be moved into an independent, Article I court system. As long as the immigration courts remain under the authority of the attorney general, the administration of immigration justice will remain a game of political football--with people's very lives on the line." -- back cover.

Book excerpt: The immigration courts are in a period of intense crisis and breakdown, at a moment in history when America's immigration policy is being challenged and redefined. Congress has debated an overhaul of the immigration system since 2006, but proposals for fixing the courts have been largely ignored. The American Bar Association released a 510-page report in February 2010, revealing that a total of 231 immigration judges hear more than 300,000 cases a year, an average of 1,200 for each judge, or three times the load of federal district judges. The ABA reported that judges state that they 'feel overworked, frustrated, and feel like they are on a treadmill.' The judges often feel that their asylum hearings are 'like holding death penalty cases in traffic court,' said Dana L. Marks, an immigration judge and the president of the National Association of Immigration Judges. As the judges' backlog swells so that most immigrants must wait an average of two years for a hearing, the number of decisions appealed to the federal circuit courts has increased from 9 percent of decisions in 2002 to 26 percent in 2008, the report found, virtually overwhelming the federal courts. Due to lack of training and experience of immigration judges, the report found, their decisions 'are often harrowing, haphazard and inconsistent.' The New York Times reported in October 2010 that the immigration backlog in the courts has continued to grow, in spite of calls for reform.
Download or read book The Slow Violence of Immigration Court written by Maya Pagni Barak and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The arduous, confusing and fraught journey that immigrants take through immigration court Each year, hundreds of thousands of migrants are moved through immigration court. With a national backlog surpassing one million cases, court hearings take years and most migrants will eventually be ordered deported. The Slow Violence of Immigration Court sheds light on the experiences of migrants from the “Northern Triangle” (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador) as they navigate legal processes, deportation proceedings, immigration court, and the immigration system writ large. Grounded in the illuminating stories of people facing deportation, the family members who support them, and the attorneys who defend them, The Slow Violence of Immigration Court invites readers to question matters of fairness and justice and the fear of living with the threat of deportation. Although the spectacle of violence created by family separation and deportation is perceived as extreme and unprecedented, these long legal proceedings are masked in the mundane and are often overlooked, ignored, and excused. In an urgent call to action, Maya Pagni Barak deftly demonstrates that deportation and family separation are not abhorrent anomalies, but are a routine, slow form of violence at the heart of the U.S. immigration system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Immigration Lawyers Association wrote: “With a cast of colorful characters and compelling tales, My Trials: What I Learned in Immigration Court is both a scathing indictment of a broken immigration system that sends vulnerable immigrants back to the perilous situations from which they fled, and a heartfelt call for a return to the values upon which our nation of immigrants was founded.” VOICE magazineGerry Spence, noted trial lawyer, wrote:"Thanks for your good work, Paul. I am not surprised at the horror and inhumanity you have witnessed."“America is famous for priding itself as a nation of immigrants, but the often shabby and sometimes downright abusive treatment that immigrants seeking asylum suffer in our nation's immigration court system is a well-kept secret. The truth is that our government fails to hire prosecuting attorneys and appoint judges with expertise in the field or even adequately train them in the law and procedure. But this failure pales in comparison to the even greater scandal that the immigrants herded into these courts are often treated with disdain, disrespect, or even outright contempt by sworn officers of the law. The often needless, lengthy and costly pre-trial detention of individuals who usually do not represent any danger to the community is an everyday and shameful fact of life in our immigration system.”

Download or read book The Immigration Battle in American Courts written by Anna O. Law and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the role of the federal judiciary in immigration and the institutional evolution of the Supreme Court and the US Courts of Appeals. Neither court has played a static role across time. By the turn of the century, a division of labor had developed between the two courts whereby the Courts of Appeals retained their original function as error-correction courts, while the Supreme Court was reserved for the most important policy and political questions. Law explores the consequences of this division for immigrant litigants, who are more likely to prevail in the Courts of Appeals because of advantageous institutional incentives that increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome. As this book proves, it is inaccurate to speak of an undifferentiated institution called 'the federal courts' or 'the courts', for such characterizations elide important differences in mission and function of the two highest courts in the federal judicial hierarchy.
