Workshop for Journalists on
Immigration Law

November 14, 2007

Immigration is now one of the biggest domestic policy issues. Legal
issues abound. Almost every week, there's a new challenge to federal
immigration processes, as the crackdown on illegal immigrants deepens.
With this immigration law workshop we hope to bring some clarity to such issues as
constitutional due process, the use of warrants and civil versus
criminal offenses.

 

Among the questions asked :

Do you always need a warrant to arrest an illegal immigrant at their
home? Do you always need a warrant to do a raid at a factory? What is
the difference between illegal entry versus illegal presence and why
was it at the root of the big immigration marches in 2006? How serious
is it to falsely claim U.S. citizenship?

The event was sponsored by the Dallas-Fort Worth affiliate of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and Texas AAJA Chapter.

Our guests included Paul Hunker, chief counsel for Immigration and
Customs Enforcement; Carl Rusnok, PIO for ICE; Liz Cedillo-Pereira and
Fernando Dubove, both Dallas immigration lawyers.
