DHS issued a notice that it is creating a parole program to allow certain family members of Filipino and Filipino-American World War II veterans to receive parole to come to the United States. Announced as part of the November 2014 executive actions on immigration, this program may enable eligible family members to provide support, care, and companionship to their aging veteran family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. USCIS advised that it will inform the public once the application process is in place.

DHS is proposing to amend its F-1 nonimmigrant student visa regulations on optional practical training (OPT) to allow certain F-1 STEM students who have elected to pursue 12 months of OPT in the United States to extend the OPT period by 24 months. An advance copy of the proposed rule is now available. The proposed rule is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2015, and comments will be due 30 days after its publication. On August 12, 2015, the District Court for the District of Columbia vacated the2008 STEM OPT extension rule, but stayed the vacatur until February 12, 2016, to allow DHS the opportunity to reissue the rule with proper notice and comment

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.

DHS released enforcement statistics for FY2014, which include reports from ICE and CBP. In FY2014, ICE removed or returned 315,943 individuals, 213,719 of whom were apprehended while, or shortly after, attempting to illegally enter the U.S., and 102,224 of whom were apprehended in the interior of the U.S. CBP made 486,651 apprehensions in FY2014, compared to 420,789 in FY2013. Both apprehension and removal numbers were influenced by the 68% increase in individuals migrating from countries other than Mexico, predominately from Central America.
