DHS enforcement priorities have changed again under the Biden administration, opening new opportunities and challenges to defend your clients from arrest, detention, and deportation. Two new practice advisories from the ILRC, NIPNLG, and IDP provide immigration and criminal defense practitioners with an explanation of the new policies, and what they can do to use DHS’s guidance in defending their clients.  

Our Advisory for Immigration Attorneys focuses on immigration practice and strategies for seeking prosecutorial discretion from ICE in custody decisions, removal proceedings, and other contexts. The Advisory for Criminal Defense Attorneys highlights criminal defense implications and strategies for representing noncitizens in criminal cases in light of ICE’s policy changes.
