DV 2020 All Selectees

Anyone please update here about the hearing of Gomez vs Trump case on 14th January . In the last hearing Judge Metha said " he would look in to the matter if the visa expired and could not travel because of the proclamation 10014". Now it has happened and will Judge take in to this consider ?

The lawyers have asked for a conference with Mehta to discuss. No date set yet. However, Biden removing the ban would be best, because extending visas means paying for medicals and visa fees all over again

HI Brit, what is happening on the Gomez Vs Trump , please do keep updating here . thanks
 
I have a question. (I'm not very good with politics so please bear with me). If we have a new government, which supposedly is not as racist as the previous one, shouldn't it be easier to fight pp 10014 in court?

I guess the DOJ works according to the government in power interest (i stand for correction from our moderators). So if a government comes to power and has no interest in a particular issue ,automatically the DOJ will not waste their energies and time to defend something the government has no interest in. Unless maybe the DOJ are working for Trump.
 
We might not have PP10014 and PP10052 by end of this new week:)
That will be a happy news for those who already have their visas . But those of us who are waiting for the outcome of 9095 litigation in court still have to wait and see. We aint sure whether Judge Mehta will grant our relief.

Wrong assumption. The Department of Justice is supposed to be independent, and to work without fear or favor. It has not been entirely so under Trump, and Biden has committed to re-establishing that independence.


“We need to restore the honor, the integrity, the independence of the DOJ of this nation that has been so badly damaged,” Biden said.
“I want to be clear to those who lead this department who you will serve: You won’t work for me. You are not the president’s or the vice president’s lawyer. Your loyalty is not to me,” he added. “It’s to the law, the Constitution, the people of this nation.”

if the government has no interest in something, particularly an EO that will take a stroke of the pen to reverse, that is a rather more obvious solution than trying to influence the DoJ to work to political ends.
 
Please in what way can the PP19914 non -existence make it easy
I thought this has been discussed endlessly already. It is a presidential proclamation, it is not a law established by Congress. A new president can just rescind it. Obviously if there is no PP there is no court case left.
