    What Employers Should Consider After Trump's DACA Decision

    By Erin Mulvaney | September 7, 2017

    Major U.S. companies have pushed back against the Trump administration's plan to rescind the Obama-era authorization program that allowed an estimated 800,000 undocumented immigrants to remain in the country. Yet, if the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is terminated and Congress doesn't craft new rules, any defiant companies that move to shield workers from deportation could be exposed to compliance headaches and legal hurdles, employment lawyers say.

    Foreign Work Force Helps Sustain Our Local Businesses

    By Robert Seiger | September 7, 2017

    With Labor Day now behind us, likely many of us have enjoyed some summer fun with our families. Whether a lazy summer day on one of our Jersey Shore beaches, or a day riding the coasters at one of our Pennsylvania amusement parks, summer affords us this time to shut it down and soak up the sun. But, while you're walking the boards looking for ice cream, have you ever stopped to notice who are those folks working the rides, serving the ice cream or manning the gaming booths? Same goes for the ticket takers at the theme parks. And who hasn't used their mobile phone or laptop to order those staples for the shore house that you just don't want to leave the beach to go shop for. Take a closer look and also ponder who might have designed that great app you are using to order those school supplies while the kids are splashing in the pool. Now that you think about it, walking the boardwalks at night can often be analogous to walking down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan during the holidays, English is among the languages you will hear.

    Cross-Border Criminal Investigations Just Became More Complicated

    By Hartley M.K. West, Steven G. Kobre and Michael F. Peng | September 7, 2017

    The future of cross-border government enforcement investigations has been shaken by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's recent decision in United States v. Allen, 864 F.3d 63 (2d Cir. 2017), which held that the Fifth Amendment's prohibition on the use of compelled testimony in criminal proceedings applies even when that testimony was compelled by a foreign official in a foreign investigation. Allen's ramifications are far-reaching and may put pressure on other circuits, including the Ninth, to embrace the holding or disavow it.

    'Could Be Deported' Was Inaccurate Legal Advice, Court Says

    By Jason Grant | September 6, 2017

    Third Circuit Adopts Heightened Threshold for Terrorist-Related Deportation

    By Max Mitchell | September 6, 2017

    Evidence that members of a group conducted election-related violence and showed "tacit support for radical Islam" are not enough to establish that the group is a low-level terrorist organization whose members must be deported, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ruled.
