Decisions Show A Trend In Lower Immigration Fines

Last Updated: December 11 2013
Article by New Jersey Law Journal

The Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) is the agency responsible for reviewing and making final determinations on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) penalty assessmentsfrom I-9 inspections. Recently, published cases appear to demonstrate a distinct trend of OCAHO severely reducing ICE's penalty assessments.

OCAHO is led by a chief administrative hearing officer (CAHO) whose responsibilities include providing program direction, articulating policies and procedures, establishing priorities and, importantly, administering the hearing process presided over by administrative law judges (ALJs).

ALJs are authorized to impose a variety of remedial measures, ranging from sanctions and penalties as prescribed by law, cease-and-desist orders, awards of attorney fees and, in the case of immigration-related unfair employment practices, awards of back pay. The general process involves the ALJs presiding over hearings and then rendering decisions. With respect to employer sanctions and document fraud, the CAHO conducts administrative review of ALJs' decisions and has the ability to modify or vacate those decisions.
