Another Effort at More Court Stripping

Earlier this week, Senator John Cornyn introduced a 2nd degree amendment to the DHS appropriations bill that would gut injunctive relief in immigration litigation.

Click below for the amendment, as well as excellent analysis and talking points prepared by the National Immigrant Legal Centerc on this issue.  Download cornyn.pdf  Download cornyn_amendment_analysis.doc   Download cornyn_amendment_bullet_points.doc
