When Does My Client Have a Habeas Claim?
This roundtable will explore when habeas corpus is an appropriate tool to challenge immigration detention, agency inaction, or other custody-related issued. Our panelists will discuss the statutory and constitutional bases for habeas relief, the types of immigration cases where habeas is viable, jurisdictional limits, and strategic considerations in filing. Participants will gain practical insights into spotting habeas claims, evaluating timing and venue, and navigating the intersection of habeas with other remedies such as mandamus or APA actions.
This roundtable is presented by the AILA Benefits Litigation Committee.
