Author: Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago Title: Videoconferencing in Removal Hearings: A Case Study of the Chicago Immigration Court Summary: The Chicago Immigration Court began its use of videoconferencing for detained immigrants in removal hearings in 2002, and contends that the practice increases efficiency and effectiveness. However, after examining over one hundred hearings, this study found videoconferencing riddled with problems such as technological malfunctions and/or failure, lack of proper language interpretation, little or no ability for detainees to communicate with their counsel, and problematic presentation of evidence. Having immigrants appear by television from a small room at a suburban detention center, while the immigration judge, the trial attorney, and the lawyer (if any) are in a downtown courtroom, raises serious concerns.

Author: Immigrant Defense Project Title: The Courthouse Trap: How ICE Operations Impacted New York's Courts in 2018 Summary: In 2018, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) substantially expanded arrest and surveillance operations in New York's courts, continuing a disturbing trend that began with the inauguration of President Donald Trump. ICE operations increased not only in absolute number but grew in brutality and geographic scope. Agents, disguised in plainclothes, used intrusive surveillance and violent force to execute arrests. They also reached into many new areas of the state, conducting arrests in several upstate counties that were previously untouched. And ICE agents pursued New Yorkers in a broader range of courts-conducting operations in civil and criminal courts and in courts designed to be rehabilitative instead of punitive. All of these changes underline ICE's increasing reliance on the state's court system as a place to trap and detain immigrant New Yorkers. Details: New York: The Author, 2019. 15p.

Author: TRAC Title: ICE Fails to Target Serious Criminals in Immigration Court Filings Summary: Despite the administration's rhetoric of deporting "criminals" from this country, the latest data from the Immigration Courts through June 2019 shows only 2.8 percent of recent Department of Homeland Security (DHS) filings based deportability claims on any alleged criminal activity. This is way down from the emphasis on deporting criminals that prevailed a decade ago.
