Class Action Challenges Unlawful Asylee Family Reunification Policy

The New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) filed a class-action complaint, Tsamcho v. Napolitano, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York today on behalf of a class of immigrants granted asylum in the United States who are seeking to bring their spouses and children to this country. The lawsuit challenges a new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services policy that threatens to deprive asylees of the opportunity to reunite their families in the United States.
