National Immigration Project and 38 Immigration Organizations Submit Comment Opposing Rule Seeking to Gut the BIA

The National Immigration Project and 38 immigration legal services, social services, and advocacy organizations submitted a comment strongly opposing a proposed rule which would result in impossible filing deadlines before the Board of Immigration Appeals and summary dismissals in almost all cases. While parts of the rule have been vacated through Amica Center for Immigrant Rights et al. v. Executive Office for Immigration Review et al, it is possible that the administration will attempt to resurrect those aspects of the proposed rule through further rule making, making the comment process vitally important.
