Description

The panel will examine habeas corpus in immigration practice, addressing jurisdictional considerations, procedural strategy, and emerging trends in litigation. The experts discuss the All Writs Act, evidentiary hearings, and motions to return clients who were removed without process. The CLE provides guidance on structuring habeas claims in expedited timelines, identifying proper respondents, and coordinating with emergency injunction requests.

Discussing systemic removal practices including third-country expulsions, wartime authority-based removals under the Alien Enemies Act, and near blanket suspensions of asylum claims under §212(f), the panelists will cover current litigation strategies to challenge executive actions and provide tactical advice for protecting clients. Discussion will also cover coordinating habeas, APA, and class actions. 

Listen as our expert panel explores the intersection of detention, deportation, and due process at a critical time in history. Learn litigation techniques and practical tips for filing effective habeas petitions and removal-blocking federal suits.
