Reps. Goldman, Meng Lead House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism Members in Letter to Australian Prime Minister Albanese Following Deadly Antisemetic Bondi Beach[...]

New York, NY - Today, U.S. Representatives Dan Goldman (NY-10), Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Nydia Velazquez (NY-7), and House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia (CA-42) introduced the Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act, new legislation that aims to protect immigrants who are pursuing lawful pathways to migrate to the United States and attending their court-ordered appearances from being targeted for arrests by the Trump Administration. The legislation would prohibit U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers or agents from arresting or detaining an individual that is physically present at an Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) immigration court facility for the purpose of attending or participating in a hearing, except pursuant to a judicial warrant. These protections would extend to individuals whose immigration case is still active and has not resulted in a final order of removal.
