Original Date Announced
February 4, 2025On February 4, 2025, the EOIR Acting Director issued PM 25-18, rescinding DM 22-06 on Friends of the Court.
DM 22-06 rescinded a prior Trump memo, PM 20-05, that barred Friends of the Court, and provided immigration judges guidance on how to utilize the Friend of Court model to facilitate proceedings and assist pro se respondents.
In response to that memo, the new memo reinstates PM 20-05, and Friends of the Court are no longer allowed in immigration proceedings.
