J.E.F.M. v. Holder (2015) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Summary

The case involves nine young immigrants who argue that they have a right to a lawyer during their removal proceedings. The court has jurisdiction over their constitutional claim under the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause, but not their statutory claim under Section 240 of the Immigration and Nationality Act due to ripeness issues. The court concludes that the lack of a lawyer during removal proceedings affects the quality and scope of the record, and one plaintiff was wrongly removed in absentia.
