Judge pauses Trump rule giving refugees 10 days to contest status loss
U.S. District Judge Julia Kobick in Boston put on hold until Nov. 6 a rule that cut the time refugees have to respond to status termination notices from 30 days to 10, a change DHS said could affect up to 186,000 people.
A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked a Trump administration rule that sharply reduced the time refugees have to contest the termination of their status.
U.S. District Judge Julia Kobick on Tuesday put the rule, issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on Oct. 14, on hold through Nov. 6. According to reports on the order, it bars the Department of Homeland Security and USCIS from enforcing the rule and from terminating anyone who did not respond to a short-deadline notice issued since it took effect.
The rule cut the response window from 30 days to 10 days
Under the rule, refugees facing termination of their status would have 10 days to respond instead of 30. DHS estimated the change could affect as many as 186,000 refugees. It was published as an interim final rule, effective immediately, with public comments open until Nov. 13.
Resettlement groups allege due process violations
A coalition of refugee resettlement organizations, including Jewish Family Service of Western Massachusetts and the International Institute of New England, along with four refugees, sued the administration on Monday, accusing the government of denying refugees due process and violating federal law.
Kobick said the rule should be paused to preserve the status quo until the case can be heard by a colleague, Reuters reported. The temporary order does not decide the merits of the case, and the judge has yet to rule on other parts of the lawsuit, including challenges to green card processing and re-interview requirements.
