This seminar examines the rapidly evolving intersection of criminal and immigration law, often described as Crimmigration. The course explores the current law and how these two distinct systems of law and enforcement have merged over the last half-century. Students will analyze the dimensions of this merger, focusing on topics such as the “categorical approach” to removal, the immigration consequences of criminal convictions, immigration detention and due process, federalism and state cooperation, and the prosecution of immigration crimes. The seminar also examines the narratives and historical developments that underlie modern Crimmigration Law, from early exclusion statutes to today’s border and interior enforcement regimes. Assignments include short written reflections, a midterm exercise, and a final paper.
