Bill Sponsor: Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)
Congress: 119
Date Introduced: April 30, 2026
Last Action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. (April 30, 2026)
This resolution of disapproval would nullify a DOJ rule regarding the procedure of the Board of Immigration Appeals.
This interim final rule makes review of decisions on the merits discretionary by setting appropriate times for briefing in cases that are reviewed on the merits, and by streamlining other aspects of the appellate process to ensure timely adjudications and avoid adding to the already sizeable backlog at the Board.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) (April 30, 2026)
