BIA Finds IJs and the Board Lack Authority to Recognize the Equitable Defense of Laches in Removal Proceedings

 The BIA found the respondent did not submit sufficient objective evidence to support his fear of torture by the Rwandan government and that immigration judges and the Board lack the authority to recognize the equitable defense of laches in removal proceedings.

Supreme Court rules in favor of immigrants facing deportation against faulty government notices

The Supreme Court found that in order for an immigrant to be deported, the government must properly notify the individual on one document, rather than across several. While a technical issue, the ruling could affect hundreds of thousands of immigration cases. In a nutshell, a notice to appear (NTA) will be considered deficient if it is missing relevant information, such as the date and time of a removal hearing. Deficient NTAs no longer will trigger the “stop-time” rule, which starts when the government initiates removal proceedings and “stops the clock” on accumulated presence in the U.S. Deportations may be cancelled if an immigrant has been in the U.S. for at least 10 years, but the 10-year clock is paused when an NTA is issued. Now, the Supreme Court’s ruling held that an NTA can only trigger the “stop-time” rule if all relevant deportation and hearing information is on one document.

New ICE memo sets different priorities for agency.

ICE issued a new memo dictating the grounds for which people can be deported for the next 90 days. Officers will need preapproval from a senior manager before trying to deport anyone who is not a recent border crosser, a national security threat, or a criminal offender with an aggravated felony conviction. Republicans criticized the measure, and the party’s members on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees sent a letter to the Secretary of DHS expressing “serious concerns” with the memo. DHS officials said the new rules do not exempt anyone from enforcement or deportation but rather provide directions to ICE officers.

Deportation of Africans cancelled after reports of torture by ICE

A plane carrying African asylum seekers due to take off from Alexandria, Louisiana was cancelled with minutes to spare after advocacy groups published affidavits by detainees of torture by ICE agents. The affidavits listed violent tactics that ICE officials used to pressure detainees to submit to deportation, including choking, beating, and forcing the asylum seekers to agree to expulsion by threatening them placement in Covid-19 wards. ICE cancelled the deportation “to allow any potential victims or witnesses an opportunity to be interviewed,” and it “will conduct an agency review of recent use-of-force reports related to individuals on this flight.” ICE was accused of similar abuse in October, but denied the claims and did not change its policy of accelerated deportations.

Arizona AG sues of Biden’s deportation moratorium.

AZ attorney general Mark Brnovich sued DHS on Wednesday over the Biden’s administration’s 100-day deportation pause. He stated that they sued DHS “alleging that their new policy halting deportations is illegal and it’s also contrary to an … [understanding] that we have with Homeland Security.” Arizona is the second state to sue over the deportation pause, following a similar suit brought by Texas on Jan. 22. That suit resulted in a temporary restraining order issued on Jan. 26. In response, The Biden administration argued that the agreement between the states and DHS is unenforceable because “an outgoing administration cannot contract away that power for an incoming administration.

ICE Defies Biden, Deports El Paso Massacre Witness, Hundreds of Others

NBC News reports that President Biden is continuing to unravel the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies but has been unable to stop the deportation of hundreds of people, including a woman who witnessed the 2019 anti-Latino mass shooting at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart store. An early Biden executive order placing a 100-day moratorium on deportations until an enforcement review could be done was suspended by a federal judge in response to a Texas lawsuit. But the ruling didn’t require ICE to schedule deportations.
