The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) submitted a comment urging DHS to withdraw its proposed rule that would dramatically restrict access to employment authorization for many immigrants. The comment argues that the proposal is unlawful, unsupported by evidence, and would create significant hardship for immigrants, families, employers, and communities by limiting access to work permits, expanding discretionary denials, shortening EAD validity periods, and imposing new procedural barriers. ILRC calls on DHS to rescind the proposed rule and preserve access to employment authorization for eligible applicants.
