TOP UPDATES Supreme Court agrees to hear immigration law detention caseWaPo: The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether federal immigration law gives the government the power to indefinitely detain any noncitizen it is considering deporting if the person previously committed certain crimes.Cert granted. SCOTUSblog overview of the case. Supreme Court bans Arizona from denying 'Dreamers' driver's licensesThe Hill: Reuters reported that justices refused to hear the state’s Republican-driven challenge to President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects young people brought into the country illegally as children from deportation. Their decision lets stand a lower court ruling that blocked the state from denying driver’s licenses to DACA recipients. Cert denied. Jeff Sessions Has Power To Shape Asylum Policy. He Could Be Gearing Up To Use It To Deny Relief To Domestic Violence Victims.HuffPo: Now, Sessions is set to personally decide the fate of a Salvadoran woman the appeals board deemed eligible for asylum more than a year ago. If Session rules against the woman, he could ensure that she is deported instead of being granted asylum — and that future immigrants seeking asylum on similar grounds meet a similar fate. Sessions has already referred three immigration cases to himself this year — an uncommonly high rate that alarmed experts who fear he is gearing up to dramatically shrink the parameters for who can be spared from deportation. AILA Report “Cogs in the Deportation Machine” Shows

Massive Escalation of Immigration EnforcementImmProf: The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) released a new report detailing how the Trump administration has systematically increased enforcement, using harsh, indiscriminate methods to deport thousands of families, asylum seekers, and people who have lived and worked for years in the United States. See The 20+ Immigration Activists Arrested Under TrumpNPR: Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency most frequently criticized for arresting activists, categorically rejects the accusation that it is singling them out. ICE says it does not retaliate against unlawful immigrants for critical comments they make, and any suggestion to the contrary is "irresponsible" and "speculative." Dem leaders pull back from hard-line immigration demandThe Hill: While House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders had hinged their support for last month’s budget caps deal on a commitment from Republicans to consider legislation salvaging the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, they’ve signaled they won’t hold a similar line heading into next week’s expected vote on an omnibus spending bill. ICE spokesman resigns, citing fabrications by agency chief, Sessions about California immigrant arrestsWaPo: A spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has resigned over what he described as “false” and “misleading” statements made by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and ICE acting director Thomas D. Homan. James Schwab worked out of the agency’s San Francisco office until he abruptly quit last week. The US Keeps Mistakenly Deporting Its Own CitizensVICE: "Recent data suggests that in 2010 well over 4,000 US

citizens were detained or deported as aliens, raising the total since 2003 to more than 20,000, a figure that may strike some as so high as to lack credibility," Stevens wrote in a 2011 report.  Long-Residing Liberians Are at Risk of Losing Protection from Deportation by the End of MarchAIC: While much of the national immigration conversation has focused on the fate of Dreamers and those with Temporary Protected Status, a little-known protection provided to Liberians is on the brink of expiration. Westchester Becomes First County in the State to Pass Immigrant Protection ActNYIC: The IPA, which County Executive George Latimer is widely expected to sign into law, prohibits county officials from using resources to do the job of federal immigration authorities; prevents county officials from asking for immigration status or country of birth when it is not necessary to the job the function they are performing; and prevents County Corrections and Probation officers from handing over Westchester residents to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unless there is a judicial warrant. Collateral damage: How Trump threw Canada's refugee system into turmoilReuters: More than 20,000 people, including thousands of Haitians and Nigerians and hundreds of Turks, Syrians and Eritreans, have crossed the border into Canada illegally over the past year in search of asylum, many fleeing in fear that Trump would deport them to their home countries. This unexpected northward migration has overwhelmed Canada’s system for processing asylum claims, leading to the worst delays in years. NY OCC UpdatePlease be advised that the New York Office of the Chief Counsel

ICE to seek to represent a nationwide class of plaintiffs who are detained in immigration custody and whose minor children are separated from them and detained in ORR custody. (Ms. L. v. ICE, 3/9/18) AILA Doc. No. 18031238.

No. 18031437[Of note in CA2: FN 5 notes that in NY it is permissible and common to take impossible “attempted recklessness” pleas, which apparently you can’t in CA. And voluntary (first degree) manslaughter under NY law is already considered a COV under Vargas-Sarmiento, 448 F.3d 159 (2d Cir. 2006).] BIA Finds California Attempted Voluntary Manslaughter to Be an Aggravated Felony Under INA §101(a)(43)(F)The BIA held that attempted voluntary manslaughter in violation of §§192(a) and 664 of the California Penal Code is categorically an aggravated felony crime of violence under INA §101(a)(43)(F). Matter of Cervantes Nunez, 27 I&N Dec. 238 (BIA 2018) AILA Doc. No. 18031538 CA1 Upholds Denial of Asylum Where Evidence Showed Persecution Was Based on an Economic MotiveThe court denied the petition for review, finding that substantial evidence showed that the petitioner failed to establish eligibility for asylum by failing to show a nexus between his alleged persecution and a statutorily protected ground. (Lopez-Lopez v. Sessions, 3/16/18) AILA Doc. No. 18031637

 CA2 Holds That BIA Erred by Retroactively Applying   Matter of Diaz-LizarragaThe court held that the BIA erred by retroactively applying the standard announced in Matter of Diaz-Lizarraga for larceny crimes involving moral turpitude to the petitioner’s case and remanded the case to the BIA. (Obeya v. Sessions, 3/8/18) AILA Doc. No. 18031900 CA5 Upholds Texas SB 4The court issued an opinion upholding Texas SB 4 in its entirety, except for the application to elected officials of the prohibition on endorsing policies limiting the enforcement of immigration laws.

No. 18031434 DHS OIG Finds USCIS Has Unclear Website Information and Unrealistic Time Goals for Adjudicating Green Card ApplicationsDHS OIG reports that information on USCIS’s website about processing times for green card applications doesn’t reflect the actual time it takes field offices, on average, to adjudicate them and the stated 120-day goal for green card adjudication is unrealistic. USCIS concurred with the findings. AILA Doc. No. 18031436 Lawsuit Challenges the Administration's Implementation of the Waiver Process Under the Latest Travel BanA class action lawsuit was filed in federal district court on March 13, 2018, challenging the administration's implementation of the waiver process under Presidential Proclamation 9645, the third iteration of the travel ban.
