Filed Date: Jan. 30, 2017

Closed Date: Aug. 11, 2017

This case was different from many of the other cases in the Travel Ban collection, as it challenged the legality of the executive order as applied to lawful permanent residents, instead of arguing that the executive order was invalid on its face.

The plaintiff claimed that U.S. Customs and Border Patr…

Emami v. Nielsen

3:18-cv-01587 | U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

Filed Date: March 13, 2018

Case Ongoing

This is one of many legal challenges to the series of Trump's executive orders (EOs) known collectively as the "Travel Ban" or "Muslim Ban." This suit in particular challenged the waiver system that accompanied the ban, which was purportedly instated to prevent the EOs from arbitrarily denying people entry into the country. Twenty six individuals who had been denied a travel visa, or whose relatives had been denied a travel visa as a result of the EOs, filed this putative class action lawsuit i…

Filed Date: Nov. 10, 2021

Closed Date: March 2, 2022

This was a putative class action brought by five asylum seekers who sought extensions to their work authorization, but whose extensions were not ruled on promptly; they therefore had either lost or were about to lose the right to work. On November 10, 2021, these five individuals filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs sued U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (“USCIS”), and the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) under the Ad…

Hamama v. Adducci

2:17-cv-11910 | U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan

Filed Date: June 15, 2017

Case Ongoing

Petitioners in this class action/habeas petition are Iraqi nationals—many, perhaps most, Chaldean Christian—who have resided in the United States for many years. They have been subject to final orders of removal for years, but the U.S. government permitted them to reside in the community under orders of supervision. In early 2017, political negotiation by the Trump administration with Iraq (related to Iraq's desire to be taken off the Trump Executive Order travel-ban list) led to Iraq’s agreeme…
