Kelly Promoted to White House Chief of Staff
New York Times: John Kelly, New Chief of Staff, Is Seen as Beacon of Discipline: “But more than anything, Mr. Kelly’s willingness to carry out Mr. Trump’s immigration policies endeared him to the White House.”
The Hill: Meet the woman set to lead Homeland Security
NYPD and U visas
“Department of Investigation’s (DOI) issued a Report detailing its analysis of the Police Department’s (“NYPD”) U visa certification program…The Report found NYPD has made positive changes to the administrative management of the U visa program, but needs to strengthen certain aspects of the certification process.”
Migrants in surge fare worse in immigration court than other groups
WaPo: “Of nearly 100,000 parents and children who have come before the courts since 2014, most asking for refuge, judges have issued rulings in at least 32,500 cases, court records show. The majority — 70 percent — ended with deportation orders in absentia, pronounced by judges to empty courtrooms.”
Trump's immigration crackdown straining courts, advocates say
NBC: “President Donald Trump's promised crackdown on illegal immigration has resulted in temporary reassignments of about one-third of the nation's immigration judges, a move judges and activists say is only further backlogging already jammed immigration courts.”
CALLS TO ACTION
Sign-On Letter Calling on Congress to Oppose ICE and USCIS Authorization Bills
On 6/20/17, AILA joined 13 other organizations expressing opposition to House legislation that authorizes ICE and USCIS, because it would dramatically redirect funding towards enforcement functions and away from the customer service and benefits functions that are also vital to their missions. AILA Doc. No. 17073101
Take Action: Urge Congress to Protect Dreamers
AILA calls on Congress to pass legislation that permanently protects Dreamers and to urge the administration to continue the DACA program until a more permanent solution is enacted. Tell your member of Congress to defend Dreamers!
AILA Doc. No. 17072039
Call for Examples: Sympathetic Clients Targeted for Removal
AILA is looking for case examples of sympathetic clients who have been targeted for enforcement or removal.
AILA Doc. No. 17072702
Story Collection-Experiences with ICE and Survivors of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Human Trafficking
ASISTA Immigration Assistance is seeking stories pertaining to ICE’s treatment of VAWA, U, and T applicants. Relevant stories include information about Immigration Court proceedings, individuals facing removal when VAWA, U or T applications are pending or approved, or cases of prolonged detention.
Case example collection form (NYIC): “we have created a broad case example collection form. Please bookmark this page and, if and when you have a case that becomes problematic under the new administration, please take a few minutes to fill out this form.”
RESOURCES
New York Lawyers for the Public Interest (NYLPI) recently released a special guidance that outlines best practices for nonprofits when assisting and protecting immigrant clients.

ICE Announcements of Enforcement ActionsICE announced the arrest of 114 individuals after an 11-day enforcement operation in New York. AILA Doc. No. 17041232 Matter of Garnica SilvaBIA Holds that U grant is an admission. CA2 Finds “Stop-Time Rule” Prevented Petitioner from Accruing Seven Years of Continuous Residency in the US“In short, when a non-citizen is rendered inadmissible—by a conviction, admission of the criminal conduct, or through some other means—the stop-time rule may make him ineligible for cancellation of removal, if, as of the date of his commission of the underlying offense, he had not yet resided in the United States continuously for seven years. To state it another way: as long as a qualifying offense later does render the non-citizen inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(2), the date of the commission of the offense governs the computation of a lawful permanent resident’s continuous residency in the United States.”(Page 24; emphasis in original.)
