Last Friday, DOJ petitioned the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) in an effort to strip immigration judges of their right to be represented by a union. AILA Executive Director Benjamin Johnson called the petition “an effort to suppress the voices of immigration judges, who have denounced DOJ efforts to strip their authority.” House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship Chair Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) criticized the administration’s move to decertify the National Association of Immigration Judges, announcing plans to hold hearings to “develop a foundation for legislation to create an independent immigration court.”

The Third Circuit vacated the district court’s dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction of the claims of the appellants—students who had enrolled in a sham university created by DHS—holding that the order terminating their F‑1 visa status marked the consummation of ICE’s decision-making process, and therefore constituted a final order for the purposes of Administrative Procedure Act (APA) jurisdiction.

Client was placed in removal proceedings as a result of various convictions and those proceedings were eventually administratively closed (when she married a U.S. citizen and her I-130 was approved) so that she could apply for a provisional unlawful presence waiver (I-601A). When Client’s I-601A was approved, her case was recalendared and she was granted voluntary departure, and after post-conviction relief for a theft conviction and various follow ups with the consulate, her visa was granted and she is now safely back in the United States with her husband and children.
