*****************
A few “takeaways” from one of America’s leading “practical scholars:”
- Think about a new start with a “clean slate;”
- Deportation is “state violence;”
- Immigration Courts are constructed to provide Gov. with an unfair advantage;
- No rules, no due process, no justice;
- Kudos to the NDPA & the Round Table;
- Trump Administration spent inordinate effort improperly skewing the law to insure everything is denied and remove equible discretion from IJs;
- Good provisions that provided discretion in the past to alleviate hardship and injustice have been eliminated by Congress: suspension of deportation, JRAD, 212(c), 245(i), registry (not repealed but now virtually useless b/c of 1972 cutoff date).
