: Legal Pad | LAHomeland Security ordered to reopen immigration cases
By Richard Binder
U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder has issued a preliminary ruling ordering the Department of Homeland Security to reopen the immigration cases of nearly two dozen people who were denied green cards because their U.S. citizen spouses died during the process.
In the 35-page decision, Snyder wrote that the department must follow a 9th Circuit Court decision from 2006 saying that applicants don't lose their status as spouses because the government didn't rule on their cases before the citizen's death.
Most of the plaintiffs in question were waiting for their permanent residency, but their U.S. citizen spouses died as they were waiting for a decision from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Some of them are in deportation proceedings.
A court hearing is scheduled for today in Los Angeles, and Snyder is expected to issue a final ruling soon after.
