Love Stacy Caplow's practical roadmap to substantial reform and professionalization of immigration court practice--all without needing legislation by Congress!

"The time has come to rethink some embedded assumptions and practices, particularly those that do not have to wait for structural court reform."

It's still possible to save a sinking Immigration Court. Dean Stacy Caplow offers a step-by-step solution.

Joined 80,000 others in commenting on DHS notice of proposed rule to rewrite and gut asylum procedures. Tho bound by US & intl law NOT to penalize unauthorized asylum seekers, rule would deny asylum to those who didn't get travel docs from persecutors before fleeing!

Great to have Wilfred Codrington III as our new colleague and friend. His good work precedes him, and the future will see much, much more!

[Michael T. Cahill @BLSDeanCahill]

Welcome! So happy to have you @brooklynlaw!

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

Their work is impressive, and they have already made us proud. Looking forward to all they will contribute in the future to Brooklyn Law School, to the scholarly community, and to the wider world.

[Michael T. Cahill @BLSDeanCahill]

Proud to have these great colleagues!

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

SCOTUS Thuraissigiam decision upholds denial of judicial review to asylum seeker whose fear of persecution is rejected without a hearing by low level DHS staffer near border. No independent judge to check potential gvt abuse.
Not fair procedure when lives are at stake.

[Brooklyn Law School @brooklynlaw]

"This week the Court remembered that “the people” are more than an abstract notion; they are living, breathing human beings. Dealing with people requires recognizing their humanity."

@MEF_BrooklynLaw writes of @Scotus's #DACA decision in @NYLawJournal

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

There is a purpose to process. DACA opinion reminds us that making a record before issuing decisions forces the exec to consider the facts & human implications of admin action. https://t.co/XKGrS8LHvi

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

Court clearly recognized the enormous contributions made by DACA to the U.S. economy & the fabric of our society. Though the Court ducked the equal protection challenge of discriminatory intent toward Latinos & Mexicans, the impact of this decision will be enormous & beneficial.

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

Court stated clearly that government officials must act carefully & thoughtfully in making policy, federal courts must review government action even when directed at potentially deportable noncitizens, & later rationalizations do not pass muster in defending government decisions.

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

Today's Supreme Court DACA opinion is momentous for the 700,000 DACA recipients, for their families, for the rule of law, for the role of the courts, and for the values at the heart of the American nation.

Important program on keeping people in prison invisible and the myriad impacts this has. Particularly important to hear Saleem Holbrook and Roger Headley give first-hand testimony about the deforming effects of life behind bars.

[Brooklyn Law School @brooklynlaw]

Center for Criminal Justice hosts Roger Headley, @VOCALNewYork; Robert "Saleem" Holbrook @AbolitionistLC, Emma Kaufman @nyulaw; @JameliaNMorgan @UConnLaw on panel: "Prison, Invisibility & Resistance." Moderated by Professors Prianka Nair, @j_simonson

Kudos to Dean Cahill, the other NY law deans, and Chief Judge DiFiore for recognizing the need to eliminate the question about mental health.

[Michael T. Cahill @BLSDeanCahill]

Progress! Proud to stand with other deans in (successfully) supporting elimination of this question.

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

Very moving and insightful essay on immigration and asylum in the US. Sonia Nazario is right: a compassionate refugee policy doesn't have to choose between letting p everyone in and no one in!

Sotomayor is right: the Trump Admin cries emergency when judges order the status quo to remain in place while litigation proceeds. SCOTUS is overturning decades of law practice by enabling "emergency" actions to take place before the US wins in court. https://t.co/0zGfjn67rq

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

As I say in NY Law Journal, the Jan 27 SCOTUS ruling overturning the SDNY prelim injunction against the DHS "public charge" regulation is unseemly & shows disdain for the lower federal courts. https://t.co/ztbXYqlKFE via @NYLawJournal

Read the letter from 850+ legal scholars; Dershowitz is wrong on his proffered analysis of impeachable conduct.

[Protect Democracy @protctdemocracy]

.@AlanDersh incorrectly argues conduct must be “criminal like conduct akin to treason and bribery” to be impeachable.

Even if that were the standard (it’s not!), the evidence shows @realDonaldTrump *has* committed bribery as the Framers understood it: https://t.co/rja4EVqq8U

[Maryellen Fullerton @MEF_BrooklynLaw]

It is crucially important that more people understand that the US has pushed asylum seekers back into Mexico where they rely on the kindness of strangers for food and shelter & where they have NO ACCESS TO US LAWYERS to help them prepare the complicated US asylum application.
