This Article surveys cases from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, in which immigration law was the central focus of the case. The Survey begins with a discussion of the standard of review the Eleventh Circuit applies to cases decided by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and Immigration Judges (IJs), followed by summaries of cases disposed on procedural or jurisdictional grounds. Then, the Article describes the Eleventh Circuit's recent jurisprudence around issues of discretionary relief from removal, asylum, and habeas corpus law.
