Prosecutorial Discretion in Removal Proceedings

Recorded Date: 
09/20/2011
Recorded Length: 
90 minutes

This webinar will discuss preparing and submitting Requests for Termination of Removal Proceedings Based on Prosecutorial Discretion, as well as requests for Deferred Action. It will focus on how to base requests for prosecutorial discretion and how to utilize the memo of June 17, 2011 by ICE Director John Morton on the same subject. We will cover how to prepare these requests, in addition to strategies for presenting the requests to ICE and in a smaller number of cases to CIS. There will also be a discussion on how such requests should be part of a practitioner’s overall removal defense strategy. This webinar is appropriate for practitioners with all levels of experience.
