🚨 Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Home Search Raises Legal Concerns

Attorneys representing Rep. Ilhan Omar allege that federal authorities disregarded court-imposed restrictions during a search of her home this week.

According to a letter obtained by The Washington Post, her legal team also criticized the Justice Department’s investigation into her immigration history, describing it as politically motivated.

⚖️ The allegations raise important questions about judicial oversight, constitutional protections, and the limits of federal investigative authority.

Due process and constitutional protections are essential in every immigration-related investigation.

📲 If you or someone you know is facing immigration-related legal challenges or has concerns about their rights during a federal investigation, contact Urena & Associates to discuss your case and explore your legal options.

🚨 Advance Parole Complications for Asylum Seekers

Recent Board of Immigration Appeals decisions warn that leaving the U.S. on advance parole may affect pending asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT claims. For some people with at least one year of unlawful presence, travel may also trigger a 10-year bar on returning.

📄 Advance parole does not guarantee admission to the U.S. Before traveling, speak with an immigration attorney about the potential impact on your case. ⚖️ Contact our office to discuss your options.

The Alien Terrorist Removal Court, created in 1996, recently handled its first case. Nazira Haji Zada, a lawful permanent resident accused by the Justice Department of supporting an ISIS-inspired plot, agreed to a removal order in August and was deported to Afghanistan. The case involved classified evidence, raising questions about how people can respond to information they may not be allowed to see. (justicesecurity.org, APnews)

When immigration cases involve national security allegations or classified evidence, experienced legal guidance matters. If you or someone you know is facing immigration proceedings, contact our office to discuss your options.

🚨 Proposed new fees could affect F-1 students seeking OPT.

The Department of Homeland Security has proposed requiring SEVP-certified schools to pay $70,000 for a student’s initial OPT period and $30,000 for any subsequent period, including STEM OPT—up to $100,000 total. Schools may pass these costs on to students.

This is only a proposal. It is not in effect, and public comments are open through November 9, 2026. The rule may also face legal challenges.

If you’re an F-1 student or school and have questions about how this proposal could affect your plans, contact our office.

🚨 Important update for asylum seekers

In Matter of G-R-B-, the Board of Immigration Appeals held that an immigration judge may pretermit an asylum and withholding of removal application—even without a motion from DHS—if the application and supporting evidence do not establish a prima facie claim for relief. The judge may decide that no full evidentiary hearing is needed.

This does not mean every asylum case will be dismissed without a hearing. It does mean that clearly explaining the basis for your claim and submitting supporting evidence are especially important from the start.

If you have a pending asylum case or are preparing to file, speak with an experienced immigration attorney about your specific circumstances. Share this update with someone who may need it.

🚨 Denaturalization Update

On September 14, 2026, USCIS issued new guidance on referring cases for possible revocation of naturalization. The guidance identifies cases USCIS will prioritize for review, including certain national security, war-crime, marriage-fraud, and benefit-fraud concerns. USCIS may also review a person’s file during other immigration matters.

This does not mean citizenship is automatically at risk. Naturalization can be revoked only on specific legal grounds, such as unlawfully obtaining citizenship through concealment or willful misrepresentation. The government must prove its case in federal court with clear and convincing evidence.

If you or someone you know has questions about a naturalization history or an immigration filing, contact our office to discuss your situation with an immigration attorney.

🚨 Federal Court Orders Permanent Protections at 26 Federal Plaza

A federal court has issued a permanent injunction requiring ICE to improve conditions for people detained at its facility at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City.

The order addresses overcrowding and requires adequate sanitation and hygiene, meals, and medical care. It also requires ICE to allow detained people to make free, confidential calls to their attorneys within an hour of arriving at the facility.

The ruling follows reports of abusive conditions and evidence that ICE violated an earlier court order. It does not end immigration arrests or detention, but it establishes protections for people held at this facility.

If you or someone you know has been detained at 26 Federal Plaza and has concerns about their treatment or access to legal counsel, contact our office to discuss your situation.

🚨 Third-country deportations may resume.

On September 29, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily allowed the administration to resume deporting some people to countries other than their country of origin while the legal challenge continues. The order pauses a lower court requirement that people receive notice and a chance to raise concerns about persecution or torture before removal. (AP News)

This is not a final decision on whether the policy is lawful. The Supreme Court is expected to hear the case in December.

If you or a loved one has a final removal order, speak with an immigration attorney promptly about your situation.
