USCIS
REDACTED
152,278.71
Court
N/A
Lawsuit against multiple DHS agencies alleging violation of the rights of non-citizen minors who were once detained in U.S. Govt. custody and alleging that USCIS used information from the so-called “gang memos” as evidence to support of denial of SIJ, asylum, T and U visa status.
DHS settled the case and USCIS was assigned a portion of the EAJA fee payout. Plaintiff was the prevailing party whose position was substantially justified.
