WASHINGTON, March 23, 2025—On Friday, the Trump Administration issued a memo that places new, unnecessary, and unwarranted scrutiny by ordering sanctions, reviews, and stricter oversight of attorneys in immigration and federal court.

ST LOUIS, MISSOURI, JAN. 25, 2025 — The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit today upheld a temporary block on SF 2340, Iowa's worst-ever immigration law.
The Iowa law was passed during the 2024 Iowa legislative session and was temporarily blocked by the courts just weeks after.

It creates new crimes for anyone in Iowa, including a child, who has reentered the country after being deported — even if that person is now authorized to be in the U.S.
WASHINGTON, JAN. 22, 2025 — Today, the House voted in the final step for passing S. 5, legislation that will have devastating implications for many immigrants in the United States and our system of legal immigration alike.
