DV 2020 All Selectees

Thanks for your commentary, I couldn’t listen so I was watching your messages throughout. If the judge didn’t make a ruling, then it’s positive. If Jim can bring in cases as evidence that the judge was asking for next time they meet, we could have a shot!

Reactions: WBA
They mention on Jim’s FB page that an amended complaint would be filed Monday I believe, and the government asked for an extension to respond to it. I think they have 21 days to respond.
 
how’s it he didn’t have evidence yet there’s thousands of us? guess atleast he will have another shot presenting that next time and we’re closer than with AILA’s lawsuit.
 
I have already explained in a video how the ban is already moot *UNLESS* extended. It covers the period up to late June. The next scheduled interviews are July at the earliest. Assuming KCC schedules those interviews as planned, the ban is not impacting us - and that is why the judge was asking about irreparable harm. It is hard to make that point *IF* the ban is not extended.

So it will be more easy for lawyers block this EO when (and if) the ban will be extended?

But what about those embassies that continue to conduct interviews (Kamboja, Georgia?...if I remember correctly), and people who would have gotten their visa in normal circumstances, get put on AP because of the ban. Aren't those directly affected by the ban?

Plus, there's no chance the ban will not be extended, Miller himself mentioned that that proclamation is just step and he has a long-term vision for that order (there are several articles on that).

Being on AP until late June is not irreparable harm. It's an inconvenience.

Agree, but the ban will be extended, otherwise, there was no point in signing it in the first place. 60 days is nothing in the grand scheme of things, considering that the order was geared towards immigrants who 'Present Risk to the U.S. Labor Market During the Economic Recovery Following the COVID-19 Outbreak'.
Once it's extended, there's almost no chance of getting a DV at that point.

Again - *IF* the ban is extended. We don't know one way or another. If we try an guess based on what we assume to be the motivations, then why was the 60 days there at all? That bit makes no sense unless Trump was somehow uncommitted to the full on ban.

Trump will do what is best for ratings. He's a useless puppet of the ratings - he is more concerned with his popularity than doing the right or the sensible thing.

Miller represents pretty extreme views. So - Miller will certainly push for all the bans possible, but Trump will weigh up the reactions and the ratings. So whilst much of his base is aligned with Miller, not all of his base are quite that extreme, and if an action alienates too many in the middle, then Trump will pause.

It's all speculation currently - I am not suggesting what will happen, I have no idea how this will play out, none of us do.

Obviously, no one can be 100% sure but based on the situation, and previous actions of the Trump administration, it's very likely that the ban will be extended until the elections (at the very least).

Either way, it's all just speculation at this point and it doesn't help the situation much, so I'll just end it here.
