Abstract

Gerald L. Neuman's methodology in applying the writ of habeas corpus to immigration cases should be applied even more broadly, and arguments supporting this theory appear anomalous as long as traditional interpretations of the public rights and plenary power doctrines remain unchallenged. This method would deny neither a judicial role in applying constitutional norms to federal immigration powers. Determining the scope of review requires balancing the liberty interests of immigrants with the costs that extensive judicial review would have.
