LA Times: U.S. to Allow Some Immigrant Deportees to Return Under Settlement



LA Times: U.S. to Allow Some Immigrant Deportees to Return Under Settlement 

The Los Angeles Times reports on a settlement agreement in an ACLU lawsuit alleging that federal agents use intimidation, threats, and misinformation to persuade undocumented immigrants to agree to voluntary departure. In the settlement, federal officials did not admit any wrongdoing but agreed not to use threats and intimidation against immigrants facing possible deportation, and will allow some (perhaps thousands) with ties to Southern California to return.


If you or someone you know departed the United States because of intimidation, threats, or misinformation from federal immigration officials, you may be able to return to the United States and appear before an immigration judge.

If you think this applies to you or someone you know, please contact an immigration attorney for additional information. Our office will provide a brief free consultation for anyone who believes they may have been affected by this settlement.

The President’s Discretion, Immigration Enforcement, and the Rule of Law


 




For Immediate Release

The President’s Discretion, Immigration Enforcement, and the Rule of Law

August 26, 2014

Washington D.C. - Today, the American Immigration Council releases The President’s Discretion, Immigration Enforcement, and the Rule of Law by Hiroshi Motomura, a Professor of Law at UCLA.

Professor Motomura’s paper discusses the President’s broad legal authority to make a significant number of unauthorized migrants eligible for temporary relief from deportation. He makes clear that the President has broad prosecutorial discretion as to setting enforcement priorities, given our current enforcement system in which all 11 million unauthorized immigrants could not practically be deported. Moreover, Motomura shows that providing a system for applying prosecutorial discretion—with formal criteria and a process—is more consistent with the rule of law. Doing so makes discretionary enforcement decisions more uniform and predictable, and forestalls individual agent’s actions based on discrimination or race. The paper rebuts critics that have accused President Obama of overstepping his authority as he considers measures to defer the deportation of millions of families.
