The plenary power doctrine holds that Congress's authority over immigration is plenary, largely unreviewable, and beyond the normal constraints of constitutional law. But the doctrine has never been absolute, and the constitutional warrior who understands its limits — who knows where the Fifth Amendment's due process guarantee applies, where equal protection constrains immigration classifications, where the Fourth Amendment governs immigration enforcement, and where habeas corpus remains available despite statutory restrictions — is prepared to fight for clients in a system that regularly exceeds its constitutional authority. The Constitutional Immigration Warrior is Volume XXIX of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series — the complete practitioner's guide to constitutional immigration law. Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full constitutional immigration landscape: the plenary power doctrine from Chae Chan Ping v. United States through its modern applications and growing constitutional constraints; procedural due process in removal proceedings; equal protection — Plyler v. Doe's protection for undocumented children's education, alienage classifications, and the DACA challenge; civil detention — Zadvydas v. Davis, Jennings v. Rodriguez, and the circuit split on prolonged detention; immigration enforcement Fourth Amendment — Martinez-Fuerte checkpoints, warrant requirements for workplace raids, and digital device searches at the border; and habeas corpus as the constitutional backstop when statutory review is unavailable.
