The American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Public Representation, and sixteen other national disability advocacy groups, including United Spinal Association, represented by the global law firm Latham & Watkins filed an amicus brief in support of litigation to stop the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from implementing its new public charge rule. United Spinal signed a letter addressed to Representatives Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Chip Roy (R-TX), Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, thanking the Subcommittee for holding a hearing on the revocation of medical deferred action for critically ill children. The letter urges United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to reverse its decision to stop considering visa applications based on medical deferred action for people who have a serious health condition, and for Congress to make the program permanent. The subcommittee hearing was well attended along with representatives from other disability organizations such as Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund. Due to some strong advocacy from the disability community, USCIS did rescind its decision later the same month. | AMTRAK - Natl Railroad Passenger Corporation,Architectural & Transportation Barriers Compliance Board,Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB),Federal Communications Commission (FCC),Food & Drug Administration (FDA),Health & Human Services, Dept of (HHS),Homeland Security, Dept of (DHS),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Labor, Dept of (DOL),Natl Institutes of Health (NIH),SENATE,Transportation, Dept of (DOT),Transportation Security Administration (TSA) | 75000 | 0 | 0 | 2019-10-21T11:49:56.107000-04:00 |
