Mark Noferi’s scholarship focuses on problems raised by the conflation of criminal and immigration law enforcement, and most recently, has focused on the explosion of U.S. immigration detention. His most recent article, Cascading Constitutional Deprivation: The Right to Appointed Counsel for Mandatorily Detained Immigrants Pending Removal Proceedings, will be published in the Michigan Journal of Race & Law in December 2012. He spoke at the first CINETS conference in October 2012 on the expressive functions of U.S. mandatory immigration detention. Prof. Noferi teaches an immigrants’ rights seminar and legal writing at Brooklyn Law School.
