Immigration Law and Social Justice 3rd Edition Bill Ong Hing ISBN 9798894105383

Immigration Law and Social Justice (Third Edition), by Bill Ong Hing, Jennifer M. Chacón, and Kevin R. Johnson, offers a fresh, socially conscious perspective on immigration law and ICE enforcement. This innovative casebook approaches immigration law through a public interest lens, emphasizing social justice and human impact. Alongside cases and statutes, it incorporates appellate decisions, client examples, article excerpts, and hypotheticals to provide both a foundational understanding of immigration law and insight into the broader social, political, and economic forces shaping migration to the United States.

As immigration enforcement evolves rapidly, this edition addresses current challenges faced by noncitizens and their advocates, including racial profiling during ICE raids, record deportation rates, the rollback of previously granted protections, and the removal of immigration judges with high asylum approval rates. Through examples, notes, and thought-provoking questions, the book highlights the social, racial, and political dimensions of admission and enforcement while exploring public interest litigation strategies. It encourages students to consider creative, socially responsible approaches in the practice of immigration law.
