Crimmigration
Course Description
This course will explore the intersection of criminal and immigration law, and specifically, the implications that each area of law has for practice in the other. The course will focus on the specialized statutory provisions and interpretation that dictate the consequences of criminal conduct, arrests, and convictions for noncitizens in the United States. The course will explore the duties and roles of both criminal and immigration practitioners; what constitutes a conviction under U.S. immigration law; the criminal grounds for inadmissibility to, and deportability from, the United States; and when a particular offense can trigger removability or bar immigration status or relief from removal. The course will familiarize students with the immigration enforcement process involving individuals with criminal history, including statutory and regulatory provisions and enforcement practices relating to ICE detention and proceedings and applications for status before the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), and the federal courts. It will likewise familiarize students with the implications of immigration considerations in the criminal enforcement and legal process.
