BREAKING: DC Circuit just sent the Gomez Appeal back to the district court to determine whether "interim relief" is due and whether Government intends to "enforce" PP10014.

The order specifically references the R28j letters which were regarding the expiring/expired #DV2020 visas. Govt argued that nothing was done after judge Mehta invited parties in Gomez to address the issue. Now District Court is sending it to the court to decide the issue.
Here is the order: beta.documentcloud.org/documents/2047…
Obviously, appeals court was not interested to decide on its own and the fact that is asking the district court to find out if government intends to "enforce" the proclamation may be the strongest nudge of the Admin to come in and save face by saying that they will not enforce
... PP10014 against #DV2020VisaHolders. But it also may be indicative that they were not inclined to declare the Proclamations unlawful. Who knows.
We have placed the issue before judge Mehta already and hrg is scheduled for 2-26-2021. Will see what effect this order will have on our briefing and hearing.
All and all! A good development for #DV2020 visa holders.
