AILA, the Council, and Partners Submit Amicus Brief to SCOTUS on Two-Step Notice Process in Niz-Chavez v. Barr

AILA, the American Immigration Council, and partners submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in Niz-Chavez v. Barr, arguing that the government’s two-step notice practice distorts the congressional scheme and undermines fundamental fairness. The amicus brief includes case examples of how DHS’s use of fake dates for removal hearings as a solution to the Court’s mandate in Pereira has bred chaos and confusion in the immigration system.
