This webinar will discuss preparing and submitting Requests for Prosecutorial Discretion, including administrative closure, as well as requests for Deferred Action. It will focus on DHS policy guidelines and practice in screening cases and adjudicating requests since the announcement of the new DHS policy announced in August, 2011. The webinar will also provide tips on how to base requests for prosecutorial discretion and how to utilize the two memos 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, and to the Department of Justice for cases, which are at the federal court of appeals. 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. To maximize the benefits of webinar, participants should review the major June 17th Morton memo which we will send out prior to the session.
