Great breakdown from fellow member Cyrus Mehta of how Loper Bright is already reshaping litigation strategy, from business immigration to detention cases, and why statutory text matters now more than ever

AILA Rule of Law Task Force Member Cyrus Mehta urges immigration lawyers to “weave Loper Bright into everyday practice” as the decision “can help reorient immigration law toward closer adherence to statutory text and, indirectly, toward more humane outcomes, even in an era of renewed restricti...

"Not everyone is qualified for asylum, or cancellation of removal, two common forms of relief requested in immigration court. But everyone deserves a fair and impartial jurist to give them due process through a full and fair hearing."

AILA Media Advocacy Committee Chair Shannon Shepherd describes some of the ways the Trump Administration has undermined due process in the immigration courts and encourages readers to take action and tell Congress it is clear we need an independent immigration court system.

Has Congress clearly authorized DHS to expand expedited removal to the extent it has? Law Journal author Catherine Tanihu dives into this important question in the latest blog post.

AILA Law Journal author Catherine Tanihu explains what drove her to write about the Major Questions Doctrine and ICE's expansion of expedited removal, writing that her "article argues it’s time to apply the same scrutiny to DHS that we’re applying everywhere else."

"No one would want an agency making huge decisions if there are no checks or balances guarding the decisions or giving t...

It's true that the immigration system is going through very dark times, but every day I'm inspired by my fellow immigration attorneys "maintaining their composure, patience and determination, insisting on due process, fairness and the rule of law."

In this blog post, AILA AROL Task Force Member Kevin Blank describes how "deterioration of civility further erodes the rule of law" in immigration court, and how the experience of Helen Suzman, an opposition politician in South Africa during apartheid, inspires him to stay strong despite adversity.

In this blog post, AILA AROL Task Force Member Kevin Blank describes how "deterioration of civility further erodes the rule of law" in immigration court, and how the experience of Helen Suzman, an opposition politician in South Africa during apartheid, inspires him to stay strong despite adversity.

The Trump Administration is dismantling the immigration courts brick by brick, further chipping away at due process protections. I join in calling to move the immigration court system out of DOJ and into an independent Article I court.

In this blog post, AILA AROL Task Force Member Karen Grisez describes how “this administration has mounted a less visible attack on due process inside the U.S. immigration court system” and reviews “what due process means and how it applies in the immigration context.”

"Since the 2025 inauguration, over 100 immigration judges have been fired from their positions," and "Simultaneously, about 600 military JAG officers have been authorized as temporary judges with a goal of increasing the pace of deportations."

In this blog post, AILA AROL Task Force Member Karen Grisez describes how “this administration has mounted a less visible attack on due process inside the U.S. immigration court system” and reviews “what due process means and how it applies in the immigration context.”
