Children who are almost 21 are now put into a new non-prioritized category, where wait times for visas can take up to 76 years, the lawsuit alleges.“This effort shows a complete disregard, or at the very least a failure to appreciate how our judicial system is supposed to work to provide a fair day in court. These recent efforts by this administration make it even clearer that our nation urgently needs an immigration court system that is independent, fair and impartial.” AILA Executive Director Benjamin Johnson stated.
