DHS Releases Memo on Termination of MPP

Posted on November 3, 2021 by sethlerner1964

Today, DHS has announced the termination of MPP, effective immediately, after finding that the benefits of MPP are far outweighed by the costs of continuing the program. DHS will comply with Texas v. Biden, but termination of MPP will be implemented as soon as practicable after the injunction is vacated.

Supreme Court Rules Against Immigrants with Temporary Status

Posted on July 2, 2021 by sethlerner1964

The unanimous decision issued yesterday by the U.S. Supreme Court holding that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients who entered the United States unlawfully are not eligible under §1255 for lawful permanent resident status merely by dint of their TPS. AILA Board member Andrew Nietor explains, “It’s important to realize that this is not going to affect everybody who has TPS, but it will affect many who are otherwise eligible to become legal, permanent residents.”

Biden administration official ends ‘Remain in Mexico’ asylum policy

Posted on July 2, 2021 by sethlerner1964

 The BIA ruled that a mere continuation of an activity in the United States that is substantially similar to the activity from which an initial claim of past persecution is alleged cannot establish changed circumstances under INA §208(a)(2)(D).

9th Circ. says judges can reopen deported immigrant cases.

Posted on July 1, 2021 by sethlerner1964

The Ninth Circuit held that immigration judges can reopen the cases of immigrants who have been removed from the U.S. or who voluntarily left. In its decision, the panel sided with a Mexican native who was removed in 1995 and asked an immigration judge to reopen his case sua sponte after he returned to the U.S. so he could apply for adjustment of status. The judge refused – and the BIA agreed – finding that a judge is blocked from taking sua sponte action because the migrant had left the country. However, the panel said that the departure bar does not apply to a sua sponte reopening of a case, but only limits motions to reopen. The panel has now joined a Circuit split on the issue, siding with the Tenth Circuit, and differing from the Second, Third, and Fifth Circuits.

ICE and CBP to stop using the term ‘illegal alien’ referring to immigrants.

Posted on July 1, 2021 by sethlerner1964

On Monday, two federal government memos were issued stating that U.S. immigration enforcement agencies will no longer use the term “illegal alien” in official communications to refer to immigrants in the country. Specifically, ICE and CBP will discontinue the use of words “alien,” “illegal alien,” and “assimilation” from internal policy documents and communications with the public. Immigrant advocates have long condemned the use of these terms as a dehumanizing effort to draw a distinction between immigrants without the means to explore legal avenues of migration.

Biden administration holding 21,000 migrant children.

Posted on June 30, 2021 by sethlerner1964

The Biden administration is housing tens of thousands of migrant children seeking asylum in about 200 facilities, according to confidential data obtained by The Associated Press. The number of children in government custody has more than doubled in the last two months, now totaling close to 21,000. The facilities where the children are being held include at least a dozen unlicensed emergency facilities inside military bases, stadiums and convention centers that sidestep regulations and oversight. Attorneys, advocates and mental health experts say while some of the shelters are safe and provide necessary care, others are putting children’s health and safety in danger.

California to remove term ‘Alien’ from laws

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

KPCC reports that California Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill that removes the term “alien,” used in reference to foreign-born workers, from the California Labor Code. Advocates applauded the removal of the term, which is now commonly viewed as derogatory and dehumanizing, as an important step toward modernizing California’s laws.
