Some Immigrants Meet Harsh Face of Justice
There is an article in the Los Angeles Times about complaints of insensitive -- even abusive -- conduct by some U.S. immigration judges that have prompted a broad federal review.
By Ann M. Simmons, Times Staff Writer;

In Chicago, an appellate board found that a political asylum case involving an Albanian citizen was mishandled because the judge relied on testimony from a document expert who did not speak or read Albanian".
