This roundtable discussion provides a space for AILA members to share strategies around the complex legalities faced by DACA recipients seeking adjustment of status after previous deportation or removal proceedings. Our facilitators will help attendees explore critical questions, including the process of adjusting status amidst a deportation or removal order or administratively closed proceedings and jurisdictional challenges. We’ll also examine the implications of different deportation and removal orders, and the impact of recent policy shifts around DACA. This session provides an essential space for discussion for legal professionals working in immigration law, providing valuable insights into the evolving challenges and opportunities for DACA recipients. Join us for a concise yet comprehensive exploration of these pivotal issues, designed to engage with fellow practitioners.
