Judge Grussendorf shares his twenty-five years of experience battling both inside and outside of America's immigration law system for the rights of immigrants and refugees. He directed the George Washington University's Immigration Law Clinic for a decade before his appointment to the immigration bench, where he served as judge in Philadelphia and San Francisco. My Trials is the only book that goes behind the scenes to expose the often arbitrary and capricious manner in which life-and-death decisions are made by representatives of the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.
