House passes bill aimed at stopping future Trump travel ban.

Posted on July 1, 2021 by sethlerner1964

On Wednesday, the House passed legislation that would limit executive authority to issue future travel bans like the one imposed by former President Trump against several Muslim-majority countries. The legislation, abbreviated to the NO BAN Act, would explicitly prohibit religious discrimination in immigration-related decisions. Any immigration restrictions could only be issued by the executive branch if there is a “compelling government interest.” The State Dept. and DHS would have to consult with Congress and provide specific evidence justifying the immigration restriction and its proposed duration before imposing it.

Congress stops playing games and passes a clean Bill to fund DHS

Posted on March 9, 2015 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

Last week, the Senate passed a DHS appropriations measure that did not include the House amendments that would block DAPA implementation and DACA expansion by a vote of 68-31. Today, in a surprising move, Speaker Boehner allowed for the Senate-passed version of the DHS funding bill to be voted on in the House. The bill passed with bipartisan support in the House, 257-167 (with 75 Republicans joining 182 Democrats), and will now be sent to President Obama’s desk for his signature. The bill will fund DHS through September 2015. The bill that passed does not include language that would prohibit the implementation of the President’s November 2014 executive actions on immigration.

Congress Passes Omnibus Bill.

Posted on December 19, 2014 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

This weekend, Congress passed a $1.1 trillion spending bill that will fund the majority of the government through September 2015, but will only fund DHS through February 2015. Although Senator Cruz (R-TX) attempted to defund the President’s executive action during the Senate debate, his motion was defeated by a 78-22 vote.
