- Title
What is Extreme Cruelty? Judicial Review of Deportation Cancellation Decisions for Victims of Domestic Abuse.
- Authors
Byrne, Anna
- Abstract
The article discusses the history of agency emigration decisions and the representation of immigration law with concerns on domestic violence in the U.S. in the 1990s. It focuses on how these concerns motivated the Congress to add the battered spouse provision to the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. The addition led to the circuit split over whether extreme cruelty decisions should be provided judicial review. The article also examines the circuit split and recommends a compromise between the two all-or-nothing approaches that the appellate courts have taken.
