The AILA Law Journal Symposium, organized under the auspices of AILA and the AILA Law Journal, will be held in conjunction with the 2024 AILA Spring CLE Conference and Webcast in Washington, D.C. The topic of the symposium is “Shaping Immigration Policy through the Federal Courts.” The Spring 2024 issue of the AILA Law Journal will publish the papers presented at the symposium.
As Congress remains deadlocked and unable to enact sweeping immigration reform, the federal judiciary has become a crucial site for the evolution of immigration law. President Biden, like his predecessors, has relied on executive actions to reshape key elements of the immigration system. Many of the initiatives have been challenged in the courts with mixed results. To what extent do plaintiffs have standing to challenge federal immigration policy? What does the future bode for Chevron deference? Each of the panels will discuss the current and future role of federal courts in shaping immigration policy in its various manifestations.
