TOP UPDATES Legal Aid Lawyers Stage Walkout After Yet Another ICE Court ArrestVillage Voice: “Genaro Rojas Hernandez, thirty, was in court to face charges of violating a restraining order. Just after 11 a.m., after a judge asked him and his court-appointed attorney to step into the hallway with a Spanish interpreter, Hernandez was arrested by ICE agents, according to his lawyer, Rebecca Kavanagh. After the arrest, attorneys with the Le-gal Aid Society stormed out of the courthouse on Schermerhorn Street and held a noisy picket line outside the building, calling on immigration officials to stay out of the courthouse. The arrest makes Hernandez the fortieth individual taken into custody by immigration enforcement agents inside a New York City courthouse.”On Thursday there will be a Rally to Keep ICE Out of Courts. Cash Assistance for Asylum ApplicantsNew guidance says that applicants for asylum are now eligible for Cash Assistance in the PRUCOL category if they have an EAD. IJ RetirementsIJs McManus and Lamb are both retiring around the end of the year. It’s too early to know who will be inheriting their dockets, but this is sad news for respondents on top of the loss of several other good judges in NY over the course of the last year. DACA Updates·         Gillibrand, Espaillat Say They ’ ll Force Government Shutdown To Save DACA·         McConnell: No government shutdown this week over immigration: Tribune: “Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared Sunday there won't be a government shutdown this week over the question of protecting immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, de-scribing it as a "non-emergency" to be addressed next year.”

·         Key Senator to Vote 'Yes' on Tax Bill in Exchange for DACA Com-mitment·         Some Republicans are pushing for restrictions on asylum in ex-change for DACA protections Asylum Vetting OfficeRumor has it that the asylum division is creating an Asylum Vetting Of-fice. It is currently unclear what the office’s specific mandate would be and how it would interact with existing programs. Multiple reports of people with final orders but no criminal records picked up at I-130 interviewsNYIC: “This issue is on the agenda for the next USCIS liaison meeting. Phyllis had made it clear she did not want ICE making arrests at inter-views. Now that she has left we don't yet know what the position of the acting DD, or who they ultimately hire, will be.” As Immigration Enforcement Ramps up, Neighbors Sign up to De-fend ImmigrantsAIC: “Poised to act at a moment’s notice, Migra Watch volunteers are trained to manage distress calls, provide support to children whose fam-ily members have been detained or deported, and show up where ICE is conducting roundups of their immigrant neighbors. Trainings typically take place at churches or community centers, where legal residents and citizens are taught to not interfere with ICE operations, but to document them.” ICE Arrests & Detains Man Who Spoke to Media on Girlfriend's ArrestImmProf: “ICE agents have reportedly arrested a man who was quoted in that article about his girlfriend's immigration arrest last month.  And his arrest appears to be a form of retaliation against him for speaking out.” United States Ends Participation in Global Compact on Migration

ImmProf: “The administration of President Donald Trump has with-drawn the United States from a United Nations pact to improve the han-dling of migrant and refugee situations, deeming it "inconsistent" with its policies.” (Note: It’s a bit confusing from the article, but the adminis-tration is pulling out of the negotiations, not withdrawing from the com-pact, which is still in development and expected to be complete by the end of 2018.) Court Orders Federal Immigration Jail in Buffalo to Offer Parole, Bond Hearings for Asylum-SeekersNYCLU: “A federal court on Friday night ordered the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, New York to stop detaining asylum-seek-ers without a fair opportunity for release on parole or bond while await-ing asylum hearings. The New York Civil Liberties Union and the Inter-national Refugee Assistance Project at the Urban Justice Center origi-nally filed suit in July over the practice at the state’s largest immigration detention facility.” How the GOP tax bills hurt undocumented immigrantsCNN:·         “Currently, non-citizens filing taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN, are allowed to claim the child tax credit, which gives back up to $1,000 per child under age 17. In tax year 2013, according to the Government Accountability Office, 4.4 million ITIN filers claimed child tax credits worth $6 billion. Under both the House and Senate versions of the Republican tax bill, ITIN filers — most of whom are undocumented — would need to provide Social Security numbers for each child in order to claim the refundable part of the credit…·         “In addition, the House bill tightens up the rules for the Earned In-come Tax Credit in such a way that immigrants covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will no longer be able to receive the credit when their work authorization expires.·         “The House bill would also require a Social Security number for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which is worth $2,500 annually to-

wards the first four years of higher education expenses. In 2013, ITIN filers claimed $204 million through this credit. The Senate bill makes no changes to these credits.” ACTIONS ·         Rally to Keep ICE OUT of Courts: Rally at Brooklyn Borough Hall to call on the Office of Court Administration to comply with a "Sanctuary Courts" policy which would bar ICE officers from entering Court premises and detaining our clients·         URGENT RFR Help Needed! -  CARA: We have an urgent need for help drafting Requests for Reinterview/Reconsideration (RFR) for the Houston Asylum Office.
