Competency in immigration court is not the same as competency in criminal court, and misunderstanding that difference can have serious consequences.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What competency actually means in immigration proceedings
• Why it is so often misunderstood by clinicians
• How immigration competency evaluations differ from anything most of us were trained to do

I explain when competency becomes an issue, what adjudicators are really assessing, and how mental health professionals can stay within their expert role while addressing high-stakes legal questions.

This episode is for any clinician who wants clarity, ethical grounding, and a deeper understanding of how competency functions in immigration court, especially as referrals in this area continue to increase.
