This will be fun since 1252(a)(2)(B) does not apply to the Cuban Adjustment Act. Time for some abuse of discretion review!

Class action habeas cases were very common until the SCt took a stab at interpreting 1252(f) — which would not apply to Title 50 removals

I guess those children would be present without admission or parole, and could removed as being inadmissible under 8 USC 1182(a)(6)(A)? They certainly can’t change status for failure to continuously maintain a lawful status. Wild and ridiculous.

People on parole would still be susceptible to this bill. Being on parole does not eliminate the underlying inadmissibility.

It is a travesty that Congress has allowed this to pile up so badly, and it incentivizes USCIS to come up with ways to narrow the availability of U relief
