NAIJ had recommended to immigration judges that they post in courthouses the English and Spanish language versions of the CDC's "Stop the Spread of Germs" and "Symptoms of Coronavirus Disease 2019" posters. EOIR ordered that they be removed.

Due process rights & #JudicialIndependence must be paramount in immigration court, where judges adjudicate asylum requests for those who fear life-threatening harm & discretionary relief requests that could subject American families to permanent separation. #ProtectDueProcess
“vulnerable people seeking asylum in the US depend on a functioning court system to protect them from persecution, torture & death. Yet, in the immigration courts, the tradition of #JudicialIndependence has been turned upside down.”@splcenter @ThinkLawLab ow.ly/TiZc30qhxhu
