Title: Authority of Immigration Judges to Issue Civil Money Penalties 
Abstract:

This rule would propose to amend the Department of Justice's regulations by implementing the statutory authority given to immigration judges to sanction by civil money penalty any action or inaction in contempt of the judge's proper exercise of authority. This statutory authority is derived from section 304 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, Public Law 104-208 (IIRIRA), September 30, 1996. This rule would set forth the types of conduct for which civil money penalty sanctions may be imposed, the procedures for imposing these sanctions, the affirmative defenses that may excuse the imposition of a civil money penalty sanction, and the procedures for appealing such sanctions.
