Strategic Requests for Prosecutorial Discretion-Utilizing the June 17 Morton Memos

This 90 minute audio seminar was originally presented live on August 24, 2011.


On June 17, 2011, ICE Director John Morton published two memos outlining the agency’s position on the use of prosecutorial discretion in removal matters. The memos, aimed at building on and synthesizing the agency’s prior guidance and emphasizing protection of certain victims, witnesses and plaintiffs, outlined the role of prosecutorial discretion in achieving ICE’s civil enforcement goals. This teleconference will help practitioners understand the evolution of the agency’s use of prosecutorial discretion and highlight the relevant factors in pursuing such requests. The distinguished faculty will suggest best practices for strategic requests for the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, as well as share some observations on the memo’s impact on related enforcement programs. In addition, the program will share resources for such requests, including sample PD requests and a review of reports on ICE actions on PD requests since the memoranda’s publication.

  • Overview of the June 2011 Morton Memos: What’s New and What’s Not
  • What Can I Ask For, When and From Whom: Best Practices for Prosecutorial Discretion Requests
  • Strategic Considerations for Complex Cases
  • Special Protections for Victims, Witnesses and Plaintiffs
  • Possible Strategies If a Request Is Denied
