In May 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court held that federal courts of appeal are barred from reviewing factual findings underlying the denial of relief in removal proceedings. While the decision only applies to the review of purely factual claims relating to the enumerated forms of relief, courts across the country—at both the district court and U.S. courts of appeals levels—are now pondering the question of whether this decision limits all review of discretionary relief before the federal courts. The panelists will discuss strategies for filing challenges to denials of discretionary relief in federal court and will provide updates in litigation post-Patel v. Garland.
Featured Topics:
- Updates in litigation after Patel v. Garland
- Filing challenges to denials post-Patel v. Garland
- Adjustment of status denials
- Other discretionary relief denials
- Strategies for currently pending cases
- Guerrero-Lasprilla v. Barr: Using the case to overcome Patel v. Garland
