The Tahirih Justice Center filed a brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Make the Road NY v. Wolf, No. 19-5298, which challenges 2019 regulations that seek, for the first time, to apply expedited-removal procedures to any person who cannot prove to an immigration officer’s satisfaction that she has been in the United States continuously for at least two years. The brief, filed on behalf of Tahirih and six partner organizations, illustrates the ways in which the expansion of expedited removal would disproportionately harm survivors of trafficking and gender-based violence and frustrate Congress’s efforts to protect those survivors.
