First
Round
of
Biden
Immigration
Judges
Fails
to
Increase
Diversity
[[link removed]]


The
Biden
administration
announced
its
first
round
of
immigration
judge
appointments
on
May
6.
Unfortunately,
the
immigration
court
appointments
do
not
show
the
commitment
to
diversity
that
President
Biden
has
demonstrated
in
his
federal
court
appointments.

Another
Trump
Barrier
Broken
as
DHS
Withdraws
Two
Proposed
Rules
for
Limiting
Access
to
Legal
Immigration
[[link removed]]


The
Department
of
Homeland
Security
(DHS)
recently
withdrew
two
rules
proposed
by
the
Trump
administration.
On
the
surface,
it
seems
they
have
nothing
in
common:
a
proposed
expansion
in
collecting
biometrics
and
the
proposed
end
to
a
program
for
foreign
entrepreneurs.
But
the
withdrawals
had
a
common
purpose—encouraging,
rather
than
curtailing,
immigration.

though
they
are

13%

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
*
The
U.S.
Senate
held
a
hearing
this
week
with
DHS
Secretary
Alejandro
Mayorkas
to
discuss
the
department’s
response
to
an
influx
of
unaccompanied
children
arriving
at
the
U.S.-Mexico
border.
The
hearing
detailed
the
government’s
efforts
to
expedite
the
sponsorship
process
so
children
are
more
quickly
removed
from
U.S.
Customs
and
Border
Protection
(CBP)
custody.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“We are seeing the administration start to roll back some of the worst of the Trump administration’s paper wall policies. [However] there are so many of them, and they have to go through an individual agency process each time in order to insulate themselves from any form of legal attack.”
– Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, policy counsel with the American Immigration Council [[link removed]]
