EOIR Acting Director Orders "Fair Treatment" for OCAHO

  1. Original Date Announced

    January 31, 2025

    The EOIR Acting Director issued PM 25-13 regarding the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO). Alleging that OCAHO was "subjected to a targeted campaign of harassment, ranging from petty to unprofessional to potentially unlawful conduct" by EOIR during the Biden administration, the memo concludes that, consistent with "EOIR's Core Policy Values" articulated in PM 25-02, OCAHO must be "treated equally" to the other EOIR constituent components.

    The memo also rescinds PM 19-09, which established case processing goals for OCAHO's ALJs.

    (Note: The Acting AG is the current Chief Administrative Hearing Officer.)
