J.O.P. v. DHS is a class action lawsuit that was filed in federal court in Maryland in July 2019. Can it be helpful for you? I don’t know but you can read the information below and find out for yourself.
How do I know if I am part of the class?
You are part of the Class covered by the Settlement Agreement (“Class Member”) if, on or before February 24, 2025, you
(1) were determined to be an Unaccompanied Child;
(2) filed an asylum application that was pending with USCIS;
