Dan Drucker Published Article in Nassau Lawyer on Matter of H-A-A-V-

Dan Drucker was recently published in the Nassau Lawyer, the Nassau County Bar Association’s newsletter, where he discussed the case of Matter of H-A-A-V-, an immigration lawsuit with alarming implications for asylum seekers. In it, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) ruled that a judge could pretermit an asylum application if the judge believed the respondent did not present a prima facie claim for relief. In other words, if an asylum seeker was unable to convince a judge they had an asylum claim on their face, the judge could deny it without an opportunity for appeal or trial.

DC District Court Blocks Deportation of Guatemalan Children

The federal District Court in Washington D.C. has temporarily blocked an attempt by the Trump administration to deport as many as 50 Guatemalan children back to Guatemala. Lawyers for the United States government claimed they were simply attempting to reunite children with their families, but lawyers for the children said this was not true, with many of the children facing dangerous circumstances if they return. These deportations are now on hold while the legal fight plays out in the courts.

New Border Asylum Policy Faces Legal Headwinds

On June 4, President Joseph R. Biden signed an executive order declaring that any noncitizen attempting to cross the southern border of the United States would be turned away unless they presented themselves at a legal port of entry. This policy was put into place to deal with a rising number of undocumented immigrants crossing the southern border, which has begun to overwhelm immigration authorities. Notably, this policy does not exempt people seeking asylum, which led to two separate groups filing a lawsuit, saying that the new policy violates existing immigration law.

Settlement Reached in Family Separation Case

More than 4,000 families reached a settlement with the Biden administration, according to an agreement filed in federal court on October 16, 2023. This will bring a close to class action litigation against the government for the Trump Administration’s family separation policy, which affected thousands of children who were forcibly taken from their families. This settlement will also allow affected families to remain in the U.S. for three years while receiving housing, mental health care, and legal assistance applying for asylum.

Biden Administration Proposes “Transit Ban” For Asylum Seekers

The Biden Administration has put forward a proposed rule that, if accepted, would make it significantly harder for some asylum seekers to obtain asylum when they come to the U.S. This rule would prevent anyone who traveled to the United States after passing through another country from seeking asylum, unless they also first sought asylum in those other countries. For many asylum seekers, this “transit ban” could have a negative impact on their ability to obtain asylum and remain in the U.S. legally.

Seven Types of Child Injury That Can Lead to Litigation

While every parent hopes to keep their children safe from harm, child injury is an unfortunate fact of life.

Senators Discuss Bill to Address Border Security and DREAMers

In a new proposed bipartisan bill, several U.S. senators are looking to find a compromise solution to issues related to border security, as well as help for DREAMers (immigrants who were born outside of this country, but came to the U.S. at a young age.)   The bill, if passed, would introduce a number of dramatic changes aimed at reducing the number of immigrants in detention facilities, as well as introduce a potential path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. However, the bill faces an uphill battle to obtain passage, with some members of the House and Senate already announcing their opposition.

Federal Court Strike Title 42 Rule

In a ruling passed down on November 15, a district court judge struck down Title 42, a pandemic-era policy intended to make it harder for many immigrants to seek asylum in the United States. According to the ruling, the policy was not passed in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act, making it illegal under federal law. This means that asylum seekers will have an easier time pursuing legal protections when they cross the border into the U.S.
