Practice Advisory: Oliva-Ramos v. Attorney General (Third Circuit suppression case)

December 01, 2012 (1 min read)

"Please find attached a practice advisory on the Third Circuit’s groundbreaking decision in Oliva-Ramos v. Attorney General. The mandate in the case just issued this week.  In Oliva-Ramos, the Third Circuit held that evidence obtained through “egregious” or “widespread” constitutional violations may be suppressed in immigration proceedings.  The attached advisory takes an in-depth look at the court’s analysis and concludes with a series of practice tips and resources that will be helpful to attorneys representing clients who have fallen victim to unconstitutional immigration enforcement practices. The attached advisory may also be found on our website at http://www.law.nyu.edu/immigrantrightsclinic/case-campaign-materials/index.htm.  Many thanks to the individuals who provided feedback on the advisory over the last several weeks."
