Just in: Another lawsuit has been filed challenging the Trump admin's new restrictions on asylum, this time in DC federal court by two immigrant advocacy groups scribd.com/document/41796…
New: In the DC case challenging the Trump admin's new asylum restrictions, the plaintiffs have asked the judge for an immediate temporary restraining order blocking the admin from enforcing the policy pending litigation scribd.com/document/41797…
In DC and CA, lawyers are seeking to formally link the new round of litigation over the Trump admin's latest asylum rules to the last attempt at an asylum ban, where the admin repeatedly lost in court (see: buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo…) — this would mean the same judges are assigned
More from the DC case challenging Trump admin's latest action on asylum: Plaintiffs are seeking a hearing within three days on their motion for a TRO/preliminary injunction, or within 21 days if the judge enters an administrative stay in the interim
Early this morning, plaintiffs in the CA litigation challenging the Trump admin's new asylum rules filed a motion for a temporary restraining order, and have asked for a hearing tomorrow: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6204… Late yesterday, a TRO motion was also filed in the DC case
Here's where things stand in litigation over the Trump admin's latest asylum rules:
- TRO motions pending in DC and CA
- In CA, the judge who did the last round of asylum-related litigation, Judge Jon Tigar, has granted plaintiffs' request to relate the cases, so he'll preside
- TRO motions pending in DC and CA
- In CA, the judge who did the last round of asylum-related litigation, Judge Jon Tigar, has granted plaintiffs' request to relate the cases, so he'll preside
- Tigar will hold a scheduling call with the CA parties first thing tomorrow morning
