AILA sends letter requesting DOJ to repeal EOIR fee rule.
May 28, 2021
AILA and partners sent a letter requesting DOJ and EOIR to invalidate the EOIR fee rule that imposes fee increases for critical immigration filings, and also to ensure that any further rulemaking involving fees in EOIR proceedings does not deny due process or access to asylum to any person. The letter affirmed that the EOIR’s fee rule is “contrary to the principles of our nation’s legal system and to the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to improving the operation of the Immigration Courts and protecting the vulnerable individuals who appear before them.”
