🛑 BREAKING NEWS 🛑
1️⃣ 16 States on Friday filed a suit challenging a final rule by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) creating a process for granting legal status called “parole in place” to a group of immigrants unlawfully present in the country.
2️⃣ Today Plaintiffs moved for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and stay of the rule’s implementation.
3️⃣ The United States District court tonight through Judge Campbell Barker has granted a temporary restraining order for 14 days. The court has issued an administrative stay, undertaking a “first-blush” review of the claims and what is at stake in the dispute.
4️⃣ According to the court, the stay is not a conclusion on the success or likely success of the claims.
An administrative stay and temporary restraining order must last only as long as needed to decide on the plaintiff’s entitlement to relief controlling through final judgment.
5️⃣ The court has undertaken a first-blush review of the merits of plaintiffs’ standing and cause of action based on the evidence submitted.
The claims are substantial and warrant closer consideration, particularly on:
1. Whether parole “into” the United States includes entry by aliens already in the country.
2. The rule’s possible misapprehension of the legal standard in focusing on significant public benefit from the PIP process.
6️⃣ Applications can continue to be sent to USCIS but USCIS cannot grant any approvals.
