Both the Obama administration and the Trump administration created "rocket dockets" for families. They didn't work. Now the Biden administration is going for a third try.
The last seven years have proven that rushed justice is no justice at all. This is the wrong way forward.

It is unacceptable to move forward with a new rocket docket while asylum seekers are still subject to the harsh anti-asylum precedent put in place by AGs Sessions and Barr.

There are currently no Legal Orientation Program contracts in 7 out of 10 of the cities chosen for the Biden administration's new rocket docket.

It is also not appropriate to apply this new "Dedicated Docket" only to those families who cross between ports of entry, because the Biden administration has kept the ports of entry shuttered to all but a few.

Note that PM 19-04, which created the "Family Unit Docket," is formally rescinded and thus is officially dead. justice.gov/eoir/book/file…
