CADC on H-4 EADs: Save Jobs USA v. DHS

Save Jobs USA v. DHS

"The Department of Homeland Security issued a rule that allows certain visa holders to work in the United States. Save Jobs USA challenged the rule, arguing that DHS exceeded its authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act. See 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq., see also 8 U.S.C. §§ 1103(a)(3), 1184(a)(1). But this court has already interpreted the relevant provisions of the INA to answer a similar question in favor of DHS. See Washington Alliance of Technology Workers v. DHS, 50 F.4th 164 (D.C. Cir. 2022) (“Washtech”). Because Save Jobs USA has not meaningfully distinguished this case from that binding precedent, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment."
