Abstract
This Note will discuss the Sixth Circuit’s analysis in refusing to find a due process violation when an IJ fails to advise an alien of the availability of discretionary relief. First, this Note will present the facts and holding of Estrada.An examination of the procedures in removal proceedings and procedural due process will follow. This Note will then discuss the United States Supreme Court’s decisions regarding an alien’s right to discretionary relief. This Note will also discuss the recent circuit split regarding whether an IJ’s failure to notify an alien of discretionary relief amounts to a due process violation. Finally, this Note will argue that the Sixth Circuit’s failure to recognize federal regulations resulted in the denial of due process because
8 C.F.R. section 1240.11(a)(2) establishes a property interest in the IJ’s notice to an alien of the availability of discretionary relief.
