0:59Now PlayingMandamus lawsuits are still working to force USCIS to schedule asylum interviews — even for applicants from the 39 countries currently subject to the Trump administration’s pause on final asylum decisions. That part of the process has not slowed down. ⚖️ The open question is whether mandamus will also force USCIS to issue a final decision after the interview for applicants from those 39 countries. We’re litigating this exact issue in federal court right now, but no rulings have come down yet. 🏛️ Our position is straightforward: the statute requires the government to issue a decision, and the law overrides the paused policy. We expect courts to start weighing in over the coming weeks. 📅 For help with your asylum case, send the word “CONSULT” to me in a direct message.
