IMMIGRATION LESSONS FROM THE STRAUSS-KAHN CASE

A lttle more than a month ago, ImmigrationProf called for all of us to reserve judgment in the public indictment of the alleged immigrant rape victim in the criminal case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn.  Cyrus Mehta offers insights about the dismissal of the rape charges against Strauss-Kahn.  He writes that:  “The main concern for this writer, as stated in prior blogs on the Strauss-Kahn case, is that in the future immigrants will be more reluctant to come forward and press charges if they have been victims of sex crimes.”

Slate has offered a rebuttal of the inconsistencies of Ms. Nafissatou Diallo that have been alleged by the Manhattan DA’s office.
