Attorneys representing people, make a record. This new order, without any notice to the respondent would be a violation of the statute and the existing regulations. It is not a fair procedure for those people who are unrepresented. Even the Supreme Court in evaluating motions for summary judgment has said that courts must give the opposing party an opportunity to respond and present evidence. And even if the court is ruling as a matter of law, judges know they must give the parties an opportunity to submit evidence, make legal arguments, and build the record. To the IJ's of the world, don't fall for this pressure. Give notice to the parties and set a briefing schedule.
Thanks for the mention! 🗽
i would love to see sofia kinzinger defend this nonsense.
