A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Executive Office for Immigration Review relating to "Appellate Procedures for the Board of Immigration Appeals".
This joint resolution proposes to disapprove a specific rule issued by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) concerning appellate procedures for the Board of Immigration Appeals. The resolution leverages the authority granted to Congress under the Congressional Review Act to overturn agency rules. It targets the rule published in the Federal Register on February 6, 2026, which details new procedures for immigration appeals. Should this resolution be enacted, the EOIR's rule on appellate procedures would have no force or effect . This legislative action aims to prevent the implementation of the new appellate procedures, thereby maintaining the current processes for immigration appeals.
