Hines Immigration Law, PLLC v. Executive Office for Immigration Review
Case Overview
The Advocates for Human Rights sued the Trump administration over the decision by the Executive Office for Immigration Review to fast trick immigration proceedings of non-detained Somalies on a dedicated national docket.
The Application
The EOIR's creation of a nationality-based expedited docket raises questions about whether this policy constituted a substantive rule requiring notice-and-comment procedures, whether the selection criteria serve a legitimate government interest, and whether the accelerated proceedings adequately protect the rights of Somali nationals seeking relief.
The Conclusion
The case was decided by Judge Carl J. Nichols in the District of Columbia, resolving the legality of the Somali Fast-Track Policy under administrative law.
