Federal Judge Orders USCIS to Restore Adequate Notice for Child Asylum Interviews

A U.S. District Judge in Maryland has issued a temporary restraining order, directing U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to cease providing minimal notice for unaccompanied minors' asylum interviews. The ruling requires USCIS to revert to its previous practice of offering approximately three weeks' notice, a development welcomed by legal aid groups. This decision aims to ensure children have sufficient time to prepare for their asylum proceedings.
