Multiple federal courts have ruled that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) policy imposing indefinite holds on work permits is likely unlawful. Judges have criticized USCIS for acting arbitrarily and ignoring the severe reliance interests and irreparable harm caused by freezing individuals’ ability to work. This policy, which has been challenged in dozens of lawsuits, was also imposed retroactively without proper rulemaking, leaving many without a means to protect themselves.
Key Details:
- Courts involved: Behdin and Varniab
- Key issues: Indefinite holds on work permits, arbitrary actions by USCIS
- Legal challenges: Dozens of lawsuits filed against the policy
- Requirement for security concerns: Must be individualized, not blanket nationality-based
