Looking back over the past year on this last day of 2019, one can see the commitment and dedication of our 15,000+ members on display each and every day. From litigation to education, from remote work to in-person efforts at the border, it is inspiring to see the impact our members have had.
We wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the most-viewed videos and most-read blog posts that AILA has released this year. We’ve covered everything from the cataclysmic changes in asylum policy to H-1Bs, from the swift end and then reinstatement of non-military deferred action to family detention and so much more. Our members and staff cover the gamut; as you head into 2020, we encourage you to take a look at some of these publicly available resources!
For videos, the top spot belongs to USCIS Resumes Accepting Non-Military Deferred Action Requests ( also in the top grouping were two more related to this topic, AILA Quicktake #274 – USCIS Eliminates Non-Military Deferred Action and House Committee Investigates USCIS Policy Change on Non-Military Deferred Action)
Other videos garnering the most attention this year were:
- AILA Quicktake #264 – White House Releases a Presidential Memorandum on Asylum
- Congress Issues Bipartisan Call for USCIS Accountability
- AILA Quicktake #273 – DHS Posts Final Public Charge Rule in the Federal Register
- AILA Quicktake #258 – USCIS Delays Reach Crisis Levels.
