MOST Perspectives: Iran, Immigration and Challenges US Courts Face Today

As Immigration moves to the forefront of US Policy and National Security, we are glad to present this second interview in the series, with one of the youngest women appointed to the Federal bench as a US Immigration Judge, Ashley Tabaddor. Also an Iranian-American, Ashley has presided over one of the busiest courts in the nation since 2005.

For your convenience, we’ve broken the footage into four short videos, listed below. Part One: Immigration from Iran to the US, Part Two: Family and Culture, Part Three: Working in Immigration Law, and Part Four: Immigration Law, Challenges and Considerations.

We hope you will find this timely, in light of the recent Department of Homeland Security directive, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). You can find documents on that action issued from US Customs and Immigration Service in our Resources and Data / Related Data.
