SJRES 190 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Executive Office for Immigration Review relating to "Appellate Procedures for the Board of Immigration Appeals".

This joint resolution seeks to officially reject a specific rule issued by the Executive Office for Immigration Review that governs appellate procedures at the Board of Immigration Appeals. By invoking a statutory mechanism known as a "congressional disapproval resolution," the bill aims to prevent the new rule from taking effect or having any legal force. If passed, it would directly impact immigration judges and attorneys who rely on the Board's appellate processes by nullifying the Executive Office's proposed changes. The measure represents a legislative check on executive agency authority rather than creating new immigration policies itself.
