Mendez Rojas v. Wolf, No. 2:16-cv-01024-RSM (W.D. Wash.)
This notice is being given by order of the Court to individuals who are members of a class or sub-class of individuals who, among other criteria and within specified timeframes, were encountered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) within 14 days of entering the United States, expressed a fear of persecution or torture, and were either found to have a credible fear of persecution or torture by DHS and issued a Notice to Appear (NTA) or were issued an NTA without a credible fear determination. This notice is to inform you of a proposed settlement and a fairness hearing as part of a nationwide class action lawsuit called Mendez Rojas, et al., v. Wolf, et al., No. 2:16-cv-01024-RSM (W.D. Wash.). The proposed settlement seeks to resolve class claims that the U.S. Government did not provide sufficient notice that asylum seekers generally must file their asylum applications within one year of arrival in the United States and that the Government did not provide class members with an adequate mechanism to comply with that deadline (the one-year filing deadline).

Update: On Nov. 4, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington held a Fairness Hearing in Mendez Rojas et al., v. Wolf et al., 2:16-cv-01024-RSM (W.D. Wash.), and granted final approval of the settlement agreement. The final settlement agreement and court order approving the settlement agreement are available at the following links:

Mendez Rojas et al., v. Wolf et al., Final Settlement Agreement

Mendez Rojas et al., v. Wolf et al., Order on Joint Motion for Final Approval of Settlement Agreement

The settlement agreement requires U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to implement a Uniform Procedural Mechanism (UPM) for aliens to file their Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal. USCIS and EOIR expect to publish and implement the UPM on Jan. 26, 2021. If you believe you are a member of the Mendez Rojas class, you will have until April 22, 2022, to raise a claim that the one-year deadline to file an asylum application does not apply to you under the terms of the final settlement agreement. You may raise this claim in a new asylum filing, in a pending filing, or through a motion before the immigration court or the Board of Immigration Appeals, whichever applies.

Actualización: El 4 de noviembre de 2020, el Tribunal de Distrito de EE. UU. para el Distrito Oeste de Washington celebró una Audiencia de Equidad en el caso Méndez Rojas et al. v. Wolf et al., 2: 16-cv-01024-RSM (W.D. Wash.), y se le otorgó la aprobación final del acuerdo judicial. El acuerdo judicial final y la orden que aprueba el acuerdo judicial están disponibles en los siguientes enlaces:

Méndez Rojas et al. v. Wolf et al., Acuerdo Judicial Final

Méndez Rojas et al. v. Wolf et al., Orden sobre la Moción Conjunta para la Aprobación del Acuerdo Judicial Final

El acuerdo de avenimiento requiere que USCIS y la Oficina Ejecutiva de Revisión de Casos de Inmigración (EOIR) implementen un Mecanismo de Procedimiento Uniforme (UPM) para que los extranjeros presenten su Formulario I-589, Solicitud de Asilo y de Suspensión de Remoción. USCIS y EOIR esperan publicar e implementar el UPM el 26 de enero de 2021. Si usted cree que es un miembro del colectivo de demandantes Méndez Rojas tendrá hasta el 22 de abril de 2022 para presentar una reclamación de que el plazo de un año para presentar una solicitud de asilo no aplica a usted según los términos del acuerdo de avenimiento final. Usted puede presentar este reclamo en una nueva solicitud de asilo, en una solicitud pendiente o mediante una moción ante la Corte de Inmigración o la Junta de Apelaciones de Inmigración, según corresponda.

Hernandez v. Garland, No. 5:16-cv-00620-JGB (C.D. Cal.)
This notice is being given according to the terms of the settlement agreement to individuals who are members of a class of individuals who are or will be detained pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) on a bond set by an ICE officer or immigration judge in the Central District of California. This notice is to inform you of a settlement of a class action lawsuit called Hernandez v. Garland, No. 5:16-cv-00620-JBG (C.D. Cal). The settlement resolves class claims that the U.S. Government failed to consider class members’ ability to pay and alternative conditions of release when setting a bond amount.

Al Otro Lado v. Mayorkas, Case No. 17-02366 (S.D. Cal.)

This information is being provided for potential class members under Al Otro Lado v. Mayorkas, Case No. 17-02366 (S.D. Cal.) (“AOL”). AOL class members are individuals who: 1) are not Mexican citizens or nationals; 2) arrived at the U.S.-Mexico land border before July 16, 2019, and were told to wait to enter the United States; 3) entered the United States across the U.S.-Mexico land border on or after July 16, 2019; 4) had the Third-Country Transit Rule (“TCT Rule”) applied to their asylum claim; 5) received a final order denying asylum from the Immigration Court or the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”); and 6) would still like to pursue asylum in the United States. If you believe you are a member of the class described above, you may be entitled to have the Immigration Judge or BIA reopen or reconsider your case to review your asylum application, even if you are no longer in the United States. If you believe you may be eligible for reopening or reconsideration, you may file a motion using the template motion provided below, or you may file your own motion. The template motion includes guidance on how to affirmatively request reopening or reconsideration before the Immigration Judge or the BIA. A motion based on AOL is not subject to the time or numerical limitations of typical motions to reopen and you are not required to pay a filing fee to file the motion. However, if you previously filed a motion to reopen under AOL, subsequent motions to reopen or reconsider may be time or numerically barred, and may require a filing fee.

Justice Department Publishes Model Legislation to Help States Reduce Gun Violence and Improve Gun Safety

Model Legislation Would Assist States in Requiring Secure Storage of Fi****ms and Prompt Reporting of Lost or Stolen Fi****ms

The Justice Department published two pieces of model legislation for states to consider to help address the continuing epidemic of gun violence affecting communities across the country. The model legislation is drawn from commonsense gun-safety statutes already on the books in a broad cross-section of states.

First, the Department published model legislation to help states craft appropriate requirements for securing fi****ms kept in residences and vehicles and to ensure that those fi****ms do not fall into the hands of children, teens, and prohibited persons. Second, the Department published model legislation to help states craft appropriate requirements for the prompt reporting of lost or stolen fi****ms to law enforcement. The resources for states announced today follow model legislation on extreme risk protection orders first published by the Justice Department in June 2021.

“Whether stolen from lawful gun owners or found by children and teens, unsecured fi****ms are responsible for thousands of injuries and deaths across our country each year,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco. “We cannot resign ourselves to losing our neighbors, our loved ones — even our children — to misuse of fi****ms that could have been kept safely out of reach. The model legislation announced today provides states with new tools to improve the safety of legally-owned fi****ms and reduce the tragic toll of gun violence in our communities.”

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is updating guidance on family-based conditional permanent residence in its Policy Manual. The update consolidates and updates guidance on eligibility, filing, and adjudication for Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.

The update clarifies what noncitizens must do to change the basis of filing in cases of waivers based on battery or extreme cruelty. It also clarifies that if a noncitizen’s conditional permanent resident status is terminated for failing to timely file Form I-751, they may be eligible to adjust permanent resident status on a new basis. This is true even if USCIS issues a notice of termination of conditional permanent resident status before the noncitizen files Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

Under the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments of 1986, a noncitizen obtains permanent resident status on a conditional basis for two years if:

They obtain permanent resident status based on marriage; and
That marriage began less than two years before they obtain that status.
To remove the conditions on their permanent resident status, conditional permanent residents generally must file Form I-751 within the 90-day period before the two-year anniversary of when they obtained conditional permanent resident status.

H.R.6542 Bill to Remove Per-Country Quota is Now Introduced in the House. It's going to cause a serious disparate impact against African, Arabic, Asian and Jewish who are underrepresented in the USA than Spanish immigrants.

The current U.S. immigration map has a serious impact on our politics,workplace ,education,ect…..

We need an equal immigration bill as a remedial measure against the disparate impact existing currently.

Arabic,jewish and African immigrants are underrepresented in the USA. Therefore, per county quota should remain in place in order to stop the disparate impact created by the south border's crisis.
