This placement offers a unique opportunity for students interested in immigration law to extern with the Office of the Chief Counsel, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, DHS, as they enforce U.S. immigration law. Externs can expect to learn about immigration law from this placement through observation and participation. Students are offered the opportunity to attend immigration hearings and appear in court on behalf of the federal government under the supervision of an experienced attorney. While having taken Immigration Law prior to or coextensive with this placement is encouraged, it is not required; the office will provide the necessary training for the student’s successful experience with the office. This office values the students and provides a true mentorship experience. Note that this is a nationally competitive placement. Students interested in a placement with ICE should plan ahead.
