What rights does an alien have in a deportation hearing?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Rzepecki v. U.S. I.N.S., 990 F.2d 1260 (9th Cir. 1993):
As previously noted, in a deportation hearing, an alien is entitled to the Fifth Amendment guaranty of due process, which is satisfied only by a "full and fair hearing." See Cuadras, 910 F.2d at 573. To prevail on a due process claim, however, the alien must show that the alleged procedural errors were prejudicial. Diaz-Escobar v. INS, 782 F.2d 1488, 1494 (9th Cir.1986).
