AILA, CLINIC, NIJC, NILC, and RAICES, with representation from Democracy Forward, filed an amicus brief opposing Arizona and Montana’s challenge to the Biden administration’s immigration enforcement priorities guidance, arguing that the Arizona agreement is invalid because Kenneth Cuccinelli, who was then Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, lacked the authority to sign it.
