Undocumented college students can now access pandemic relief aid.

Posted on June 30, 2021 by sethlerner1964

The Biden administration announced that undocumented college students will be allowed to access federal COVID-19 relief aid. The step reverses former President Trump’s policy barring them from assistance. The Department of Education will now allow undocumented students, as well as those protected from deportation by DACA, to request aid, as long as they have been enrolled at a U.S. college or university since March 13, 2020. Refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants who are not part of DACA may also apply for COVID-19 aid.

Immigration Lawyers Worry In-Person Appearances at Eloy Court Will Increase COVID-19 Risk

Posted on January 14, 2021 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

Covid-19 related to immigration

The Arizona Republic reports that immigration lawyers are upset over a recent decision that forces a return to appear in person for hearings at the Eloy Immigration Court in Eloy, Arizona, amid a rising number of COVID-19 cases in Arizona. The development comes as nearly two dozen immigration courts across the country have had to close in recent weeks after possible exposure to COVID-19, including the immigration courts in Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona. AILA Arizona Chapter Chair Olivia Porter says that, at Eloy, “the courtrooms are very small and very confined,” which makes it “impossible to maintain six feet between every single person who is going to be in that room at the same time.”
