even though #JoeBiden is now the president-elect the PP10053 and PP10014 entry ban remains in effect until the end of the year! Please, please do not attempt to use visas annotated "subject to PP10014" before January!
The likelihood that you will be able to board a plane a minuscule and even if you somehow managed it, you risk having an overzealous CBP ofc canceling the visa and putting you on the next flight back! Even worst you risk a 235b expedited order of removal.
We should hear soon from Judge Mehta on our challenge to the national interest waiver application to #DV2020.
I'm gonna say it, coz you wonderful ppl are gonna flood my DMs and emails: we will know by 22 December 2020 if in a desperate effort Trump will extend the entry ban. Until then we will not know, so don't ask me.
Even if they extend the entry ban, Biden will vacate it after 20 January 2021, the question is when that will happen exactly.
For now, just rejoice that Trump IS GONE! I just to hell hope that with him will go trumpism but on that I am not optimistic.

BREAKING: Adelanto Detention Center has now a #COVID19 outbreak. We heard yesterday that 32 ppl were in quarantine by noon. @ahilan_toolong & the @aclu team confirmed 38 case as of last night. This is after 300 new arrests were made by ICE in LA the last 50 days. Connect the dots
NEW: Miller has now enlisted SSA in the war against asylum seekers! Abt 4 weeks ago clients who got their initial C8 EADs went to local SSA office to apply for initial social security cards but were told they can't submit an appl unless they produce a letter from their employer🧵
This is preposterous and there is absolutely nothing in any regs for such a requirement. So after multiple letters & a call they only agreed to issue them after CL were able to prove that husband is self-employed, but it wan't easy.
The only reason they gave me is that it is a measure adopted in light of #COVID-19 which I assumed is a post-hoc excuse using Trump's PP10052. Coz it was resolved I didn't probe further.
Some potentially REALLY really good news in the PP 10052 & 10014 Litigation in DC with respect to #DVLottery Ban: order is unredacting two bullet points that Judge think are going to redressibility. Since standing could be the only sticking point ... fingers crossed.
Why is this relevant you ask? Well, for starters it shows what we all have known for a long, long, very long time: DOS and DHS lie and have lied once again.

Reopening of consulates was never intended to be tied to local conditions
Another #SCOTUS decision day, today! 14 or so undecided cases with vast implications: from abortion rights, to CFPB structure constitutionality, to immigrant rights, to Trump taxes, & More ...
10 minutes countdown, all!
1 minute ...
Shit! we got THURAISSIGIAM -- reversed and remanded by Alito. Right there we know is BAD, UGLY, and more.
HUGE!!!! Supreme Court give DREAMers a major win: rescinding #DACA violates the APA must be vacated. #HomeIsHere
Extremely complex decision w many many subtle layers w huge implications 4 all aspect of immigration law: from reviewability, to 1252g, to of course APA 'arbitrary and capricious' standard. Practical: it is a mirror to the Census case -- sends it back for agency to consider anew.
Thomas dissent: "This ruling is incorrect and it will hamstring all future agency attempts to undo actions that exceed statutory authority."
If the immigration #shitstorm is not apocalyptic enough by now, DHS & DOJ have new joint proposed reg to change credible fear process & expedite 235b to deport asylum seekers even faster ... and dipping into Brand X to override unfavorable precedent. s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspect…
The Proposed Asylum Rule is draconian in scope and reach.
1/ It seeks to eliminate application of sec 240 protection to those found to have credible fear of persecution, a reasonable possibility of persecution, or a reasonable possibility of torture are never placed in reg Removal Proceedings but get asylum/withholding-only process
