Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), provides a template and starting place for pro bono attorneys and other members of the legal community to draft comments opposing the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) issued by the U.S. government on February 23, 2023, entitled\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/02/23/2023-03718/circumvention-of-lawful-pathways\" \\h \u0014

This Rule threatens to undermine asylum protections for generations to come — recycling previously enjoined asylum bans to severely restrict access to asylum and harm refugees seeking to enter the United States at the southern border.\nComments to the Proposed Rule are\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/06/15/2020-12575/procedures-for-asylum-and-withholding-of-removal-credible-fear-and-reasonable-fear-review\" \\l \"open-comment\" \\h \u0014 \u0015\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/06/15/2020-12575/procedures-for-asylum-and-withholding-of-removal-credible-fear-and-reasonable-fear-review\" \\l \"open-comment\" \\h \u0014due\u0015 at 11:59 pm ET on March 27, 2023.\nSubmit your comment online\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/USCIS-2022-0016-0001\" \\h \u0014 \u0015\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/USCIS-2022-0016-0001\" \\h \u0014here;\u0015 we encourage you to upload your comment as a PDF.\nThe Administrative Procedure Act requires that when promulgating rules, federal agencies must give members of the public the opportunity to provide comment on proposed rules and must consider all issues and comments provided that raise a “material” issue. See 8 U.S.C. § 553(c); Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 435 U.S. 519, 553–54 (1978). To trigger mandatory review, each comment must be unique. For this reason, it is very important to individualize your comment, NOT merely copy and paste from this template. Suggestions for areas where you might include your own analysis, anecdotes, or input are highlighted in yellow. You may include some or all of the suggested sections, or create your own new ones; do not feel bound by the structure presented here!\nSome ideas for unique input include: anonymized client stories (please do not share any identifying information about a client); assessment of compliance with the Administrative Procedures Act, U.S. and international law, and the U.S. Constitution; citations to case law, journal articles, scientific studies, or investigative and human rights reports that elucidate important issues the Departments failed to analyze; and inquiry into the practical implementation of these changes for asylum seekers, attorneys, and adjudicators.\nYou do NOT have to write in your official capacity (e.g., as an employee of your law firm) in order to make an impact. Your training, analysis, and interest suffice to produce valuable comments. However, a submission on behalf of your firm or organization highlighting your pro bono practice may also highlight expertise that will strengthen the comment process.\nTopics included in this template (hyperlinked):\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"nqy8oaocp5ng\" \\h \u0014Introduction and overview of the Rule\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"llik2y14fslk\" \\h \u0014Objection to limited 30 day comment period\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"9x4s84z06pj6\" \\h \u0014Concerns re international and domestic refugee and asylum law obligations\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"68qnivid189o\" \\h \u0014Concerns regarding the CBP One app and making asylum access contingent on access to technology\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"rh77wty3n7s\" \\h \u0014New limited lawful pathways are not a replacement for asylum access at","cbCain0AJXp627mk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain0AJXp627mk","docx",66913,10,"English","# Introduction and overview of the Rule\n## Objection to limited 30 day comment period\n## Concerns re international and domestic refugee and asylum law obligations\n## Concerns regarding the CBP One app and making asylum access contingent on access to technology\n## New limited lawful pathways are not a replacement for asylum access at the border\n## Realities of asylum access in Mexico and other transit countries\n## Compromised due process and access to counsel","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this template document?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a starting point for drafting pro bono public comments opposing a proposed asylum ban rule that restricts access to asylum.\"},{\"question\":\"When are comments due, and how should they be submitted?\",\"answer\":\"Comments are due by 11:59 pm ET on March 27, 2023 and can be submitted online via the regulations.gov comment portal.\"},{\"question\":\"Why must each comment be unique?\",\"answer\":\"Because the Administrative Procedure Act and related legal requirements require agencies to consider material issues, and uniqueness helps trigger mandatory review and strengthens the record.\"},{\"question\":\"Which topics are suggested for inclusion in the comment?\",\"answer\":\"Suggested sections address asylum and refugee-law obligations, the limited comment period, technology-gated access via CBP One, the insufficiency of new lawful pathways at the border, transit realities, and due process and access to counsel concerns.\"}]","Template Comment for Legal Community - In Opposition to Proposed Asylum Ban - Due March 27, 2023 | DOCX",1788097079]
