Minnesota federal judge tossed a challenge to restrictions on immigration judge’s authority to table lower-priority cases, ruling that the claims do not clear the jurisdictional bar preventing district courts from reviewing those types of immigration decisions. The lawsuit argues that the restrictions on administrative closure, established in former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ immigration decision known as Matter of Castro-Tum, can be challenged in court, but the judge said that argument attempts to grant the district court power where it has none. Specifically, the judge noted that challenges to Castro-Tum can only arise in removal proceedings. Tuesday’s ruling comes after two federal appellate courts have struck down Castro-Tumas illegal.
