Webinar Description

Immigration has always been a rapidly changing field of law, and never more so than now. This course will provide a general overview of the usual pathways to legal status in the United States to provide a foundation for a discussion of the barriers that have been thrown up in the last year. For asylum, we will discuss the impact of Circumventing Lawful Pathways, third-country removals, and asylum cooperative agreements. We will also discuss visa bans, the effect of the One Big Beautiful Bill from last July, and more. For bond, we will discuss the impact of two recent BIA cases, Matter of Q Li and Yajure Hurtado, as well as habeas corpus litigation that has been underway in the last several months. We will also take a look at some of the most important lawsuits that have been filed combatting some of these policies.

Key Takeaways:

  • Describe the various paths to legal immigration status in the United States

  • Understand the difference between affirmative relief before USCIS vs. defensive relief in immigration court

  • Describe recently implemented obstacles to familiar relief, such as bond, family petitions, and asylum

  • Describe some of the lawsuits that are currently underway that are likely to impact immigration practice in the coming months
