Bill Sponsor: Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)
Congress: 119
Date Introduced: April 30, 2026
Last Action: Motion to proceed to consideration of measure rejected in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 46 - 48. Record Vote Number: 173. (consideration: CR S2816) (June 16, 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)
