Exciting News on Our Multi-Plaintiff Lawsuit!
On April 30, The US District Court of Massachusetts ruled in favor of the 197 plaintiffs who sued USCIS as a part of Hacking Immigration Law’s multi-plaintiff litigation lawsuit. Judge Kobick initially granted the 22 plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction.
This week, the ruling has been extended to cover all plaintiffs who were part of the case. This will temporarily halt the government order from enforcing the USCIS freeze while the lawsuit continues.
The adjudicative hold policy that paused final decisions on specific immigration applications was ruled against.
The court also found the government’s “significant negative factor” policy unlawful as it related to specific nationalities.
At the moment, the ruling only applies to the 197 plaintiffs in the case, but Hacking Immigration Law is preparing a second multi-plaintiff litigation lawsuit in the coming weeks, with a deadline to register on Wednesday, May 13.
