Practice Advisories: Representing Migrant Minors
The National Immigration Project has issued a practice advisory on Navigating the Removal Proceedings of J.O.P. Class Members and Other Asylum Seekers with Prior Unaccompanied Child Determinations. The advisory provides strategies for practitioners in navigating removal proceedings for J.O.P. class members and other asylum seekers with prior unaccompanied child determinations in light of three recent legal developments: (1) the 2024 J.O.P. Settlement Agreement, (2) final Executive Office for Immigration Review regulations issued in 2024, and (3) a 2025 USCIS memorandum implementing the J.O.P. Settlement Agreement.
The End SIJS Backlog Coalition, the National Immigration Project, and the Children’s Immigration Law Academy, Immigrant Legal Resource Center, and Safe Passage Project issued this practice advisory, Quick Guide: Defending SIJS Clients in Removal Proceedings, which offers strategies at every stage of an SIJS client’s removal proceedings to advocate against the client’s removal and to preserve the record for appeal.
