Kansas HB 2350 - what does it mean? We are getting a lot of questions about the new human trafficking law in Kansas that went into effect in July. We would be happy to answer your questions at a consultation with one of our attorneys. The law is worded very narrowly, and it may not be widely used. But if you have waited to try to fix your immigration status or have wondered if any recent changes might affect you, please schedule a consultation.

Kansas HB 2350: ¿qué significa? Estamos recibiendo muchas preguntas sobre la nueva ley de trata de personas en Kansas que entró en vigor en julio.

In January 2019 we submitted a FOIA request asking for the contents of the EOIR‘s “Guidance and Publications” intranet site. The site is part of the EOIR’s intranet, which is accessible to all EOIR employees, and appeared to contain guidance for immigration judges on a host of topics. In July 2019 we received roughly 94 heavily-redacted files (posted below as “First Production”) which includes charts related to which state crimes trigger removability, guidance for IJs on how to handle certain types of relief applications, competency documents, etc.

We appealed the agency’s decision to withhold a number of these records and to redact others. Our appeal was granted in August 2021. We’ve now started to receive supplemental documents (posted below as “Second Production”). This set relates to the agency’s handling of competency issues for detained respondents, including compliance with the Franco-Gonzalez injunction.

The Executive Office of Immigration Review (which is responsible for the immigration courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals) has an active Fraud and Abuse Prevention Program (FAPP). I was excited to learn that since May, 2017 the FAPP has been publishing a semi-regular newsletter about the activities of the program called "The Lookout."
