New Scholars Join the Center for Immigration Studies

We are delighted to announce the addition of three new researchers to our staff:

Senior Policy Analyst Janice Kephart focuses on national security issues related to immigration. Ms. Kephart is an internationally recognized border and ID security expert, who served as counsel to the 9/11 Commission and was a key author of the staff monograph, 9/11 and Terrorist Travel as well as the immigration-related facts and recommendations in the 9/11 Commission Report. Prior to 9/11, she was responsible for conducting factual investigations into counterterrorism issues and conducting oversight of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (before the creation of the Department of Homeland Security) as a counsel to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Technology and Terrorism. Her focus is on assuring implementation of 9/11 Commission border recommendations, as her extensive work on the REAL ID Act demonstrates. She has degrees from Duke University and Villanova Law School.

Legal Policy Analyst Jon Feere rejoins us after a stint as Editor at the Center a few years ago. He left us to attend American University's Washington College of Law, where he recently received his degree. While in law school he worked in the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, specifically, the Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims. He also interned as an Assistant Prosecutor for the Montgomery County Maryland Office of the State's Attorney. Mr. Feere focuses on constitutional issues regarding immigration law. He also has a degree from the University of California, Davis.

Demographer Karen Jensenius focuses on various aspects of the immigrant population. Ms. Jensenius has a Master’s degree from George Mason University in Justice, Law, and Crime Policy and a Bachelor’s from Shippensburg University in Applied Mathematics and Criminal Justice.
