What have @curtisatlaw and I learned from the @StateDept production of the Certified Administrative Record regarding the policies, procedures, and practices suspending adjudication of DV-2020 applications? #DV2020
Since as early as March 20, 2020, @StateDept had suspending most preprocessing of #dv2020 apps at the KCC. (20 STATE 30920 ΒΆ 6). KCC will resume only when a US Embassy or Consulate is authorized to resume routine services.
This means if your application was NOT documentarily qualified and scheduled for an interview, @SecPompeo has taken no action on your case.
Together with our friends and fellow #immigration lawyers @gsiskind and #JeffJoseph, @Immigrant_Atty, We have just filed legal action against President Trump, Secretary Pompeo and @StateDept, seeking to stop the #ImmigrationBan as it applies to 149 Diversity Lottery Selectees.
President Trump acted illegally when he ended the Diversity Lottery 2020 program, something that he has talked about wanting to do for the last four years. The President does NOT have the authority to overturn the entire statutory scheme of immigration created by Congress.
By acting in this unlawful manner, Trump violates the Take Care clause of the U.S. Constitution, and he operates outside the boundaries of INA 212(f), which requires specific actions in order to fulfill its requirements, actions the President failed to take.
