Ends Streamlined Immigration Appeals Process
Official: 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".

Without this rule, the Board of Immigration Appeals may face longer wait times for processing cases. 3. The resolution removes the requirement for timely briefings in appeals, potentially slowing down the review process. 4. This action affects immigrants seeking to challenge unfavorable decisions in their cases. 5. The resolution also prevents the Justice Department from making technical changes to improve the appellate process.
