Tahirih Comments in Response to Proposed Rules on Representation in Immigration Court
The Tahirih Justice Center submits the following comments to the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) in response to the proposed rule published on September 23, 2020. Tahirih strongly opposes the proposed rule insofar as it declines to expand limited in-person representation in immigration court, while threatening the existing Friend of the Court program. The proposed rule also refuses to remedy local procedures that effectively bar counsel of record and prospective counsel from accessing the record of proceedings in a case.
