Fast-track Removals from the U.S. and the Need for Additional Safeguards

Abstract

In recent years, the majority of those deported from the United States each year are sent back to their home countries through summary procedures – without ever having a full hearing in front of an immigration judge. Bypassing the immigration court system, these summary deportation processes are improperly punitive and deny due process to individuals with legitimate claims to protection in the United States. This talk will provide an overview of recent policy changes that have led to an increase in fast-track deportations, the legal framework for these deportations, and case studies that highlight the impact of these summary procedures on asylum seekers.

Sabrineh Ardalan is clinical professor of law at Harvard Law School and assistant director of the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program (HIRC). At HIRC, Ardalan supervises and trains law students working on applications for asylum and other humanitarian protections, as well as appellate litigation and policy advocacy. She has authored amicus briefs submitted to the Board of Immigration Appeals, as well as to the federal district courts, circuit courts of appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court on cutting edge issues in immigration law. She also oversees and collaborates closely with the clinic’s social work staff. She teaches courses on immigration and refugee law, international labor migration, and on trauma, refugees, and the law. Prior to her work with the clinic, Ardalan clerked for Hon. Michael A. Chagares of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and Hon. Raymond J. Dearie, district judge for the Eastern District of New York. She previously served as the Equal Justice America fellow at The Opportunity Agenda, where she worked on advocacy around a right to health care under U.S. and international law and as a litigation associate at Dewey Ballantine LLP. She holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School and a B.A. in history and international studies from Yale College.

The UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration: A New Turn for the Rule of Law and Migration Governance?

Abstract

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) was endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly on 19 December 2018 to improve migration governance at both the international and domestic levels. One of its key features relies on the renewed commitment of states towards the rule of law. This notion is acknowledged as a guiding principle of the whole Compact and the ways to achieve it are further detailed in a broad range of measures agreed on by states. The presentation will assess the potential and the limits of the Global Compact to mainstream the rule of law in migration governance.

Vincent Chetail is Professor of International Law, Director of the Global Migration Centre and Chair of the International Law Department at the Graduate Institute of International Development Studies (Geneva). He has extensively published in the field of migration, including twenty books and over sixty articles, book chapters and reports. His most recent book is: International Migration Law (Oxford University Press, 2019). He regularly serves as a consultant to governments, NGOs and international organizations. He has been visiting scholar at Harvard Law School (2013) and King’s College London (2017) as well as visiting professor at several universities, such as Paris II Pantheon (2019), Queen Mary University (2018), Queen’s University of Belfast (2016), the European University Institute – Florence (2010), the University of Paris XI (2006-2012) and the Université libre de Bruxelles (2008-2012).

No Solidarity without Loyalty: Why Do Member States Violate EU Migration Law and What Can Be Done?

Abstract

The aim of this presentation is twofold. First, it will display an ever-increasing phenomenon of Member States’ infringements of EU migration and asylum law as an instance of the violation of the principle of solidarity and discuss the reasons behind it. It will be suggested that EU inter-state solidarity is just as much about respecting EU law, as it is about helping each other, as the latter cannot subsist without the former. Second, it will be considered whether the existing mechanisms of reducing the number of violations are sufficient and whether the new mechanisms that are being developed – particularly the rule of law conditionality and other conditionality instruments – are going to change this. Two groups of reasons behind the frequent violations will be identified, the first group being applicable to the whole of EU law, and the second one specifically to EU migration and asylum law. In this context, Member States’ violations will be construed as the process of political withdrawal or retrenchment from certain parts of the commonly adopted EU migration and asylum law. This will be explained by relying on the notion of “spillback” or disintegration (as opposed to further European integration based on the neofunctionalist concept of “spillover” effect into more policy areas) and on the concepts of “exit” and “voice” conceived by Albert Hirschman and developed further by Joseph Weiler in his seminal work “The Transformation of Europe”.

Iris Goldner Lang is a Jean Monnet professor of EU law and holder of the UNESCO Chair on Free Movement of People, Migration and Inter-Cultural Dialogue at the University of Zagreb.

Asylum, National Interest and the Rule of Law: The Implementation Gap in EU Asylum Law

Abstract

The asylum crisis of 2015-6, and later developments related to the fight against ’secondary movements’ of protection seekers, have cruelly exposed the existing implementation gap in EU Asylum Law. In the name of national interests, several Member States have initiated and maintained practices that circumvent – or at times openly flout – existing EU standards. In this presentation, this phenomenon will be examined and possible causes and remedies explored.

Francesco Maiani is Associate Professor of European Law at the University of Lausanne. His research interests include the Law of European Integration, International Human Rights and Refugee Law, as well as EU Migration Law and Policies. He teaches EU Law and is regularly invited to teach subjects of Migration Law. Born in Rome in 1974, he is the holder of a Degree in Law (University of Rome La Sapienza), of an LL.M. in European and International Economic Law (Universities of Geneva and Lausanne), and of a PhD in Law (Universities of Lausanne and Milano Statale). He is a former Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute of Florence (EUI, 2007-2008), a Visiting Fellow at the Migration Policy Centre of the EUI (2015-2016) and a member of the ODYSSEUS Academic Network for Legal Studies on Immigration and Asylum in Europe.

The New Migration Law and Its Implications for the Role of Law and the Rule of Law

Abstract

Migration law is at a crossroads. Government responses have been inadequate for migrants and the countries involved. To explore this state of things, and to suggest solutions, I ask four questions. The first asks about the promise and the limits of nation-centered justice (for example, the civil rights movement in the United States) to address migration. The second asks about the relationship between immigration law and refugee protection. These two inquiries reveal the persistence of 20th century responses to 20th century migration. To suggest a new migration law, the third inquiry explores regional initiatives that address migration more comprehensively. Economic development aid for source and transit countries may influence international migration, but the promise and pitfalls of that influence are uncertain. Also unclear is the role of law in this domain, where ad hoc political arrangements, not legal rules, have dominated. The fourth question explores economic inequality in destination countries as a determinant of migration politics. Each of these inquiries is dauntingly broad, and efforts to connect them are rare. But it is essential to explore them and how they influence each other as a first step toward the best responses to migration in the 21st century. This perspective on the role of law and the rule of law in addressing migration suggests ways to connect the papers in this conference to each other.

Hiroshi Motomura is the Susan Westerberg Prager Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and an influential scholar and teacher of United States immigration and citizenship. He has written two general audience books: Americans in Waiting (2006) and Immigration Outside the Law (2014). Both won the PROSE Award from the Association of American Publishers as that year’s best book in Law and Legal Studies, and the U.S. Department of State chose Americans in Waiting for its Suggested Reading List for Foreign Service Officers. Hiroshi is also a co-author of two law school casebooks: Immigration and Citizenship: Process and Policy (8th ed. 2016) and Forced Migration: Law and Policy (2nd ed. 2013). His scholarship has shaped the development of immigration law and policy in several key areas, including the adoption of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the setting of limits on immigration detention. The recipient of many teaching honors, including the UCLA Distinguished Teaching Award in 2014, and one of 26 law professors nationwide profiled in What the Best Law Teachers Do (2013), he is now at work on a new book, The New Migration Law, with the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Refugees, Mobility and Rights

Abstract

Today, we are witnessing a massive crisis of refugees. But our response is hindered by use of the term “refugee”, in public discourse and legal practice, as if it refers to a single and coherent set of legal claims. In fact, however, there are two separate types of claims that refugees make on the law, with crucial functional differences. The first are claims that are based in continuity and concern the legal status of individuals for whom changes in sovereignty destabilizes citizenship in their “own country”. The second are claims based in entry, and deal with the status of those individuals who have fled their “own country” because it is the source of their harm. Drawing on the genealogy of human rights law, I show that the law developed primarily to address only the continuity-based claims, and not claims based on entry. As a result, our laws are ill-equipped to address such refugee claims. A more effective approach would distinguish between these two different types of claims and address each appropriately. This is a question of life and death for millions.

Non-Refoulement Under the Trump Administration

Abstract

Over the past year, the Trump administration has issued a variety of proclamations and orders limiting access to the U.S. asylum process. Each of those government-imposed legal restrictions has been challenged in the federal courts. This talk will focus on three specific and interrelated changes to the U.S. asylum system that have been litigated since late 2018: the administration’s bar on asylum applications from migrants who cross the border between ports of entry; its policy requiring asylum seekers to remain in Mexico pending their asylum hearing; and its asylum ban for applicants at the southwest border who have passed through a third country without lodging an asylum claim. The talk will then consider the role of one of the most widely adopted and broadly binding rules of international human rights law – the principle of non-refoulement – in ensuring that the rule of law is upheld with respect to access to the asylum process.  At first glance, the Trump administration’s restrictions on the asylum process might appear to signal a death knell for non-refoulement. However, a closer exploration reveals that despite the Trump administration’s misinterpretations of international law, both the executive branch and the federal judiciary have engaged seriously with the non-refoulement principle. It remains to be seen whether the federal courts will use this opportunity to turn soft law around non-refoulement into binding domestic law.

Jaya Ramji-Nogales is Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the I. Herman Stern Research Professor at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. She is the co-author, with Profs. Andrew I. Schoenholtz and Philip G. Schrag, of Refugee Roulette: Disparities in Asylum Adjudication and Proposals for Reform, an empirical study of adjudication at all four levels of the US asylum system, and Lives in the Balance: Asylum Adjudication by the Department of Homeland Security, a quantitative and qualitative study of asylum adjudication before the Department of Homeland Security’s Asylum Offices. Her current work seeks to generate conversations around the concept of global migration law, including a symposium in the American Journal of International Law Unbound. Prof. Ramji-Nogales’ current works examine refugee law under the Trump administration, the first a comparative look, with co-author Tally Kritzman-Amir, at nationality bans in Israel and the United States, and the second an evaluation of refugee rhetoric in the United States since the Refugee Act of 1980. Her recent publications uncover the role of international law in constructing migration emergencies and critique human rights law as insufficiently attentive to the interests of undocumented migrants. Prof. Ramji-Nogales has also authored articles on the situation of forced migrants under international criminal law and international humanitarian law, as well as on regional migration law in Southeast Asia.

Structural Deficits of the Supranational Integration Method in the Context of EU Migration Law

Abstract

Events during 2015 and early 2016 revealed structural deficiencies at the heart of the EU’s asylum policy which allow us to reconstruct the ‘refugee crisis’ as a problem of integration through law. The analysis of systemic shortcomings and underlying explanations highlights regulatory and political pitfalls which any attempt to overcome the crisis will have to confront. It will be shown that the EU institutions have to reform both legal rules and governance structures – a challenge the recent reform proposals have started addressing. Yet the ‘refugee crisis’ is about more than legal design and compliance: asylum policy shows that the EU must be careful not to get trapped in a vicious circle of output deficits and political contestation, which complicates the resolution of existing governance deficits.

Daniel Thym holds the Jean Monnet Chair of European, International and Public Law at the University of Konstanz and is a managing director of the Research Centre ‘Immigration & Asylum Law’ at the same university. Previously he worked for the Walter Hallstein Institute for European Constitutional Law at the Humboldt-University in Berlin.

Arbitrary Deprivation of Liberty as a Migration Management Tool: Control Standards and Judicial Interaction in Europe

Abstract

The use of generalised detention as a migration management tool and the abuse of alternatives to immigration (asylum and pre-return) detention as a widespread control measure, in both the return and asylum frameworks, is undoubtedly on the rise in the EU. Against this backdrop, I critically analyse supranational control standards and judicial interaction within a heterarchy. I trace the links between the obligation to examine alternatives to detention, the concept of arbitrariness of deprivation of liberty, and vulnerability. I reflect on the role played by the principles of necessity and proportionality. I thus ascertain the role of international human rights ‘judges’ in controlling immigration detention and the extent to which they are interacting with each other in this process. I then comment on the impact of international human rights ‘judges’ on EU legislation and map the fragmented legal environment which national judges face. I next turn to the interaction between the CJEU and the ECtHR on immigration detention. I conclude that despite the reality of a fragmented legal environment, all legal regimes converge (albeit through different routes) to an ‘inviolable core’ of the right to liberty which should inform detention decision-making in the EU.

Management of ‘Worlds in Motion’: Scrutinizing Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees

Abstract

In their seminal work “Worlds in Motion”, Douglas Massey et al. contend that international migration is “the emblematic social, political, and economic issue of the twenty first century” (1998: ix). Various macrodrivers as well as diverse migration systems result in multitudes of migration patterns, directions and volumes, pointing to uneven distribution of migrants heading from ‘developing’ to the countries of ‘Global North’. Thus, many nation-state parties within the United Nations have tried to envisage more comprehensive global politics that would sustain ‘desired’ modes of migration and mobility in comparison to the unwanted ones. With a socio-legal and critical approach this presentation will tackle the issue of recent attempts regarding the ‘Global migration governance’, by scrutinizing three contemporary legal and policy instruments in dealing with migrants and refugees, namely the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants; the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration; and the Global Compact on Refugees. It will be analyzed if and when these globally and multilaterally envisioned agendas could withstand the test of adherence to human rights, rather than being instrumentalized by more powerful nations merely as instruments of control of the migrant populations, or completely ignored and rejected by other nations, under the sovereignty claims.

Drago Župarić-Iljić is a Sociologist who works as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Sociology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. He has published a number of articles and chapters dealing with the interdisciplinary fields of forced migration, refugee and asylum, ethnicity, population and environmental studies, focusing on various structural causes and drivers of migration, mobility and post-migration phenomena, with a special interest in the Central and East European region. Previously, he worked as a research associate at the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies in Zagreb. He obtained BA degree in Sociology and History from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb; MA degree in Sociology and Social Anthropology from the Central European University, Budapest; and PhD degree in Sociology at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, where he defended his thesis on the topic of environmental change as a driver of migration.
