Sessions (2018)—A defective Notice to Appear does not stop the clock in accumulating physical presence for purpose of cancellation of removal as a non-lawful permanent resident. Federal court decisions: Barbosa v. Barr (2019)—A conviction of robbery in the third degree under a particular Oregon statute is not categorically a crime involving moral turpitude. Ms. L, et al., v. ICE (2018)—The separation of migrant children from their parents at the border violates due process and is not in the public interest. County of Santa Clara v. Trump (2017)—The President’s executive order to withhold certain federal funds for so-called “sanctuary jurisdictions” violates the Tenth and Fifth Amendment rights of the cities and counties involved.
