Original Date Announced
July 16, 2025Litigation filed by individual and organizational plaintiffs in the D.C. District Court alleges that after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) issued guidance regarding the dismissal of removal proceedings to facilitate the arrest and expedited removal of noncitizens, Defendants issued "Concurrent Proceedings Guidance" instructing DHS personnel to "proceed with the expedited removal process (including the credible fear interview) without waiting for the dismissal of full removal proceedings to become final, either by order of the immigration judge or—if the noncitizen appeals—affirmance of such an order by the BIA."
Plaintiffs argue this policy violates the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because it is both contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious. Immigration Advocates Response Collaborative v. Dep't of Justice, 1:25-cv-02279 (D.D.C.).
