Citing a 200,000-case backlog, the DOJ will now require an en banc vote just to hear an appeal—effectively making the original Immigration Judge the final word on deportation.
holy freaking sh!tburger!! this is HUGE! Why is nobody else talking about this? Has it been just lost in the deluge of the news cycle? are they trying to hide it? is it just breaking? or is it just no one realizes how big a deal it is?? 🤯⁉️⁉️⁉️
This is a devastating blow to detainees who don’t have access to an attorney (most of them don’t). I don’t see how we survive three more years of this madness.
Beef Up the Office of Inspector General with absolute immunity and independence—NO FEAR, NO FAVOR.Accountability to the American people is crucial! The scandal surrounding Epstein reveals a network of a few elites in a sacrificial closed-circle club who thrive on corruption, stretching their tentacles like an octopus into other governments, businesses, and industries.
Allowing a sexual predator to slip through the cracks with a sweetheart deal—essentially checking in and out of prison—is complete and utter bullshit! We need to investigate how far this web of deceit reaches.
It's about time we wake up to the $40 trillion mark, as this decades-long disaster of printing money to tank the economy is not just a financial crisis—it's part of a broader scheme that requires immediate attention. The connection between Epstein, these corrupt elites, and our collapsing economy is glaring!
People won’t take the government seriously, and those who follow the rules will always feel betrayed. This ongoing situation has got to stop, and the Office of Inspector General is our last hope to bring this to light. Enough already! STOP RUNNING DOJ/DHS AS SOME PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY! This is ridiculous!
Note:
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is dedicated to promoting efficiency, accountability, and integrity within government agencies, particularly the Department of Justice (DOJ). Its core functions include conducting audits and evaluations to assess program effectiveness, investigating allegations of misconduct and fraud, and providing oversight to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. By reporting findings and making recommendations for improvement, the OIG plays a crucial role in safeguarding public trust and ensuring that government operations serve the best interests of the American people.
Staff from the relevant agency, in this case the EOIR/Department of Justice, are required to review *and* respond to all *unique* comments (they can skim/skip over similar or identical comments, however).
If they receive a large number of unique comments, the required responses can at least delay implementation of the rule--while hopefully law suits are filed to block it. Comment campaigns in response to proposed rules during the first Trump administration did just this. In some cases, comments can lead to improvements to or even elimination of the rule, though it's doubtful this would be the case with the current administration.
For a comment to be considered unique it will addresses specific the potential harms (or benefits) of the proposed rule from the experience of the commenter. You do not need to be an expert to submit a comment, just speak from your existing knowledge and concerns.
Note that you can submit comments anonymously or add your name. If you do have relevant expertise, it's best if you what it is and include your name, affiliation, position in the comment.
If sharing your name with the government poses any risk for you for any reason, however, you should post anonymously. Comments become part of the public record and are sometimes referenced or even included in future rulings.
If you start a comment campaign related to this rule, please encourage anyone present in the US without a visa to post anonymously, for obvious reasons.
If you don't have time to write a unique comment, it is still useful to use a template--look for ones that asylum rights advocacy organizations might provide in the coming days, or have already done. I just searched to see if there were any already circulating, but didn't find any.
America has always had more lawyers than we needed. but we need lawyers to go into the fray for immigrants pro bono. Step up Lawyers or Trump will step on you next.
Saw you with Waj earlier. Instant follow! Thank you for all that you do! 💪🏼🇺🇸
Thanks Dalai!!
What could go wrong!
Everything!
Just crazy every day
Is anyone leading a public comment campaign on this? Is there any point?
Not that I know of, but they probably should.
Is there anything that can, should, or is being done to stop this?
This is fucking illegal!
She needs to be eliminated.
So were these reg changes ever published for public comments? Can we get a stay of implementation that way?
Welcome to Germany Folks
This is really, really bad

Orwellian. Destroy the system, then destroy the remedy.
