Summary

  • S. J. Res. 190 failed in the Senate on Tuesday, falling short of the simple majority needed to advance a Democratic effort to undo the policy.
  • The targeted Feb. 6 interim final rule from the Executive Office for Immigration Review makes appellate review of an immigration judge's decision discretionary and subject to tighter time limits.
  • The vote leaves the Trump-era immigration review rule in place, preserving limits on when and how appeals can be heard within the immigration court system.
