Bloomberg Law reported on an en banc hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit concerning whether federal courts have jurisdiction to review reinstated removal orders in immigration cases.
Zimmer, Citron & Clarke LLP partner David Zimmer argued on behalf of Patria Laureano, a Dominican woman seeking protection from removal to her home country, where she fears harm from a former partner. Zimmer argued that while courts cannot review the original removal order, they have jurisdiction to review the subsequent reinstatement order.
The case raises important questions about judicial review of immigration decisions and the ability of individuals facing removal to challenge those decisions in federal court.
