Immigration and the States

Criminal Law & Procedure Practice Group Teleforum

Immigration law and enforcement have been on the front pages for the last several years, and that shows no signs of changing. One aspect to our national debate on immigration that hasn't received as much attention as it should is the effect that the several states can have on the issue. Through its policing powers and criminal sentencing guidelines, a state can influence who the federal immigration authorities can remove from the country. Our experts will discuss the important constitutional issues that these trends present.

• Peter K. Nunez, Chairman, Center for Immigration Studies Board of Directors
• Margaret D. Stock, Counsel to the Firm, Cascadia Cross-Border Law
• Moderator: Brian M. Fish, Member, Federalist Society Criminal Law & Procedure Practice Group Executive Committee
