Crimmigration is the intersection between criminal law and immigration law.
From a recent review of “Crimmigration Law, Second Edition”:
For most of the nation’s history criminal law and procedure and immigration law and procedure operated almost independently of the other. Criminal law and procedure were thought to be the province of prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys and the state and federal judges. Immigration law, in contrast, was confined to immigration courts housed within the executive branch of the federal government and staffed by immigration attorneys, immigration judges and prosecutors employed for many years by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and now the Department of Homeland Security.
American Bar Association, August 9, 2021
We had a great panel of speakers including local defense attorney Gerry Wasson, Andrew Nietor, chair of the local American Immigration Lawyers Association and Aude Ruffing, Staff Attorney at the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA).

Aude Ruffing
Aude moved to the United States in 2011 and after learning English, she worked as a paralegal at several non-profits providing pro and low bono services at the southern border in San Diego. Witnessing how much of a difference access to legal representation makes when people come into contact with the immigration and criminal justice systems, she decided to attend law school. During law school she worked with populations impacted by border policies and she expanded her knowledge in asylum and crimmigration law throughout her internships with Federal Defenders of San Diego, the San Diego County Public Defender and the the Southern California Immigration Project. As a California ChangeLawyer fellow with the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, she continued to learn about advancing immigrants’ rights through impact litigation.
