Federal Judge In Hawaii Blocks Trump's Third Attempt At Travel Ban

ImmProf: “In his ruling, Watson wrote that the third version of the ban, like those before it, "lacks sufficient findings that the entry of more than 150 million nationals from six specified countries would be 'detrimental to the interests of the United States,' " evidence that he says would be necessary for the ban to be enforceable.”

 Matter of KEELEY, 27 I&N Dec. 146 (BIA 2017)(1) The term "rape" in section 101(a)(43)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(A) (2012), encompasses an act of vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse, or digital or mechanical penetration, no matter how slight. Perez-Gonzalez v. Holder, 667 F.3d 622 (5th Cir. 2012), not followed. (2) The term "rape" also requires that the underlying sexual act be committed without consent, which may be shown by a statutory requirement that the victim’s ability to appraise the nature of the conduct was substantially impaired and the offender had a culpable mental state as to such impairment. Matter of TAVDIDISHVILI, 27 I&N Dec. 142 (BIA 2017)Criminally negligent homicide in violation of section 125.10 of the New York Penal Law is categorically not a crime involving moral turpitude, because it does not require that a perpetrator have a sufficiently culpable mental state. Adjustment of Status unit at 26 Federal PlazaThe Adjustment of Status unit processing applications from Manhattan and the Bronx is now on the 7th Floor. The 8th Floor is now processing only Brooklyn applicants. At the moment, the 7th floor is still labeled as naturalization and the officers are still trying to figure out what they’re supposed to be accepting. Practice Alert: DHS and DOS Implementation of Executive Order Imposing Travel and Refugee BanOn 10/18/17, AILA updated its practice alert to include information on the nationwide temporary restraining order issued in the Travel Ban 3.0.
