Initial considerations Challenging the Notice to Appear Pleadings in Immigration Court
5 Commencement of Proceedings Immigration Court proceedings begin the lodging of a charging document with the Immigration Court Prior to April 1, 1997: Exclusion Proceedings, Form I-122 Prior to April 1, 1997: Deportation Proceedings, Form I-221 Effective April 1, 1997: Removal Proceedings, Form I-862 The Main Players: U.S. Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review, Immigration Judges U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement The Respondent and You
6 Commencement of Proceedings: Identification and Enforcement Identification of Non-citizens for Removal by DHS Through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Through U.S. Customs and Border Protection at a port of entry, or 110 miles of the border Through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (tips, raids, local law enforcement referrals, safe communities program, etc.)
7 Commencement of Proceedings: Identification and Enforcement Enforcement of U.S. Immigration Laws Under federal authority, but delegated to certain state officials under INA 287(g); INA 275 Powers to stop, search, seize, and arrest are found at INA 287 and 8 C.F.R (b)(1) Extremely broad power as long as liberty is not restrained No reasonable suspicion necessary at the border Expectation of privacy is less at the border (expansive search power) DHS may briefly detain an individual where there is reasonable suspicion (not probable cause) that the person is engaging in illegal activity or is in the U.S. unlawfully Home Searches: search warrant and probable cause required Employment Searches: search warrant, consent of owner or exigent circumstances required (but not necessary for public areas)
8 Commencement of Proceedings: Identification and Enforcement Due process rights exist for non-citizens Accardi v. Shaughnessy, 347 U.S. 260 (1954); Landon v. Placencia, 459 U.S. 21 (1982); Pyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982) Remedies for Due Process/Statutory and Regulatory Violations in Enforcement Motions to Suppress and Terminate Proceedings INS v. Lopez-Mendoza, 468 U.S (1984) egregious violations of the 4 th Amendment or other liberties that might transgress notions of fundamental fairness and undermine the probative value of the evidence obtained
9 Commencement of Proceedings: Useful Tools Where is the court? When is the hearing? Immigration Court Information System: # Who is representing DHS? If your client is detained, who should you contact? Online Detainee Locator System:
10 Charging Document: the NTA What is a Notice to Appear? Form I-862 Charging Document that commences removal proceedings (INA 239(a)) Initial Considerations: Is the individual subject to proceedings? Is he/she removable as charged in the NTA? If so, is he/she eligible for relief? Identify deficiencies in the NTA or in the service of the NTA Statutory and regulatory requirements Due process
11 Charging Document: Identifying Deficiencies Specific Requirements for NTAs set forth at INA 239; 8 CFR 239.2, , The NTA must state: The nature of the proceedings The legal authority for the proceedings The acts or conduct alleged to be in violation of law The charges against the individual and the statutory authority for those charges Notification of the right to be represented by counsel Notification of the requirement that the Respondent must provide a current and updated address/phone number Service and issuance of the NTA must not be defective Must be served in person, or if personal service is not practicable, through mail to the Respondent or counsel of record
12 Charging Document: Identifying Deficiencies Due Process Requires that the NTA provide the Respondent with sufficient notice of the government s theory of the case and the evidence in support of that theory Proceedings comply with due process when the NTA is correctly prepared, accurately alleged and charged, and properly served INS v. Lopez-Mendoza, 468 U.S. 1032, (1984); see also Orhorhaghe v. INS, 38 F.3d 488, 493 (9 th Cir. 1994); Matter of Sandoval, 17 I&N Dec. 70 (BIA 1979).
13 Charging Document: Challenging Deficiencies Why Challenge the Notice to Appear? Shift the burden of proof Preserve rights on appeal If you fail to review the NTA and make objections, you will likely be waiving any future challenges (Chambers v. Mukasey, 520 F.3d 445 (5 th Cir. 2008); Matter of Velasquez, 19 I&N Dec. 377, 380 (BIA 1986)) Termination of proceedings (claim to U.S. citizenship, regulatory violation, etc.) Eligibility for relief Contest mandatory detention
14 Charging Document: Challenging Deficiencies Review Allegations and Charges Carefully Correct date/manner of entry? Claim to U.S. Citizenship? Corrected categorization of criminal history? Asylee/refugee in proceedings without DHS having terminated protected status? 8 CFR Possible diplomatic immunity Respondent in A or G status? Information contained in the allegations obtained in violation of due process?
15 Pleadings in Immigration Court Address whether service of the NTA was proper Representation by counsel that he/she has discussed the nature and purpose of proceedings, as well as contents of the NTA, with Respondent Representation by counsel that he/she has explained the consequences of failing to appear or filing frivolous applications Admit or deny factual allegations and concede or deny charge(s) of removability Be prepared to explain why the Respondent denies any of these If relevant, notify the Court what application(s) for relief from removal the Respondent will be seeking Acknowledge that they must be timely filed and biometrics must be timely completed Notify the Court how much time Respondent needs to submit application(s) Be ready to explain prima facie eligibility for relief sought Notify the Court how much time Respondent needs to present the case in Court Notify the Court if any interpreters are needed Designate or decline to designate a country of removal

27 Working with Opposing Counsel Why work with opposing counsel? DHS and IJ also want a just result; minimizes the adversarial nature of proceedings Efficiency of case before the IJ Best possible outcome Take the long view Guard your reputation Don t sell out for a single client Know your case Make sure DHS knows you mean business if necessary Prosecutorial discretion new policy memos Stipulations Withholding prosecution Repapering Deferred Action
28 Burden of Proof, Evidence, Witness Examination, and Motions 1. The Shifting Burdens of Proof 2. The Abridged Rules of Evidence 3. Submission of Evidence, Authentication, Meeting your Burden 4. Preparation and Examination of Witnesses 5. Opening and Closing Statements 6. Common Motions Used
29 The Shifting Burdens of Proof Burden on DHS to prove: Alienage 8 CFR If the Respondent is present without being admitted or paroled, the burden is on DHS initially to establish alienage. Removability as charged INA 240(c)(3)(A); 8 CFR (a) If the Respondent was lawfully admitted but is now deportable, the burden is on DHS to prove that the Respondent is removable as charged by clear and convincing evidence. If there is any possible way to challenge alienage or removability, force DHS to meet their burden!
30 The Shifting Burdens of Proof Burden on Respondent to prove: Lawfully present or not inadmissible as charged 8 CFR (c) If the Respondent is present without being admitted or paroled and DHS established alienage, the burden shifts to the Respondent to prove that he/she is lawfully present ( clear and convincing ) or not inadmissible as charged ( clearly and beyond doubt ). Eligibility for relief from removal If DHS has established alienage and removability, the burden shifts to the Respondent to prove that he/she is eligible for relief from removal Meets all applicable eligibility requirements Merits a favorable exercise of discretion (for discretionary relief)
31 The Abridged Rules of Evidence in Immigration Court Rules of Evidence come from the Regulations and the Practice Manual Use your instincts Make objections to maintain the issues for appeal Rules that apply aimed at reliability and trustworthiness Authentication Best Evidence Administrative Notice Stipulations Rules that do not apply Hearsay Privileges When in doubt, it s about Fundamental Fairness!
32 Submission of Evidence, Authentication, and Meeting Your Burden Applications for Relief May be submitted any time before final order or on Motion to Reopen See Practice Manual for format Tab your exhibits! Know your record Do not submit duplicate evidence unless necessary Address issues you find in the record
33 Submission of Evidence, Authentication, and Meeting Your Burden Burden INA 240(c)(4)(A) Must satisfy basic statutory/regulatory eligibility requirements Meet each element Address any bars to relief / inadmissibility issues Criminal, misrepresentation/fraud, statutory bars Must show that a favorable exercise of discretion is warranted Address any adverse criminal factors, fraud, etc. Submit waivers Show rehabilitation and remorse Highlight positive factors: U.S. citizen family members, hardship to U.S. citizens, contributions to community, long period of time in the U.S., lack of criminal record, immigration history, paying taxes and other civic duties, etc.
34 Preparation of Witnesses, Witness Examination, Opening/Closing Statements Preparation of Witnesses Make sure the witness knows the purpose of the proceedings and the purpose of his/her testimony Familiarize the witness with the procedures and what to expect Prepare witnesses for questions that are likely to come up on cross-examination and explain the purpose of those questions Sworn affidavits are your friend! Use them!
35 Preparation of Witnesses, Witness Examination, Opening/Closing Statements Tips for Immigration Court Representation Know and follow the rules! Be prepared Contact the ICE Trial Attorney prior to the hearing Always keep the record in the back of your mind Protect your client and preserve issues for appeal Raise all non-frivolous arguments and challenge DHS Note anything improper or unfair to your client on the record by objecting to it (i.e. improper evidence or improper questioning) Be zealous, but not over-zealous remember your manners! Always listen carefully and be alert!
36 Preparation of Witnesses, Witness Examination, Opening/Closing Statements Direct Examination Have a plan, but be flexible Listen to your client s answers Pay attention to the Immigration Judge Ask direct, simple questions focused on the personal knowledge of the witness Watch out for leading questions Qualify your expert and/or witnesses to give opinions Defer to the Immigration Judge as the fact-finder Cross Examination Listen! Be prepared to object and make your objections for the record Re-direct Examination Don t repeat what has already been covered Purpose of re-direct is to respond to issues brought up on cross or to help clarify the Respondent s answers given on cross
37 Preparation of Witnesses, Witness Examination, Opening/Closing Statements Opening Statements Some IJs allow, some do not Most IJs start with preliminary matters, such as identifying the exhibits, asking if there are any objections to evidence, admitting the evidence into the record, etc. After preliminary matters, some IJs will ask you for your theory of the case This is your opportunity to tell the Judge what the case is all about! First impressions are lasting impressions! Purpose of an Opening Statement Establish the theory of your case (legal requirements with facts woven in) Establish your theme reduce a large amount of information to easily-remembered words and phrases Anticipate weaknesses and refute the other side Request an outcome tell the IJ what you want!
38 Preparation of Witnesses, Witness Examination, Opening/Closing Statements Closing Statements Most IJs allow closing statements Keep it short and sweet! This is your opportunity to tie it all together for the Immigration Judge not simply a summation! Remind the IJ of your theme and why he/she should find in your client s favor logic and emotion! Take the law, theory of your case, supporting evidence, and testimony presented, and mold them into a persuasive whole Deal candidly with weaknesses and dismiss them, point out weaknesses in the other side s case
