REGULATION: Clarification of Discretionary Employment Authorization for Certain Aliens

DHS proposes to limit and clarify eligibility for discretionary employment authorization under 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(11)(“(c)(11)”), for aliens paroled into the United States temporarily for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, and for discretionary employment authorization under 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(14)(“(c)(14)”), for aliens granted deferred action. DHS also proposes to eliminate, with one narrow exception, discretionary employment authorization eligibility under 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(18)(“(c)(18)”), for aliens against whom a final order of deportation or removal exists and who are temporarily released from custody on an order of supervision.
