"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is updating policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual to align with Casa Libre/Freedom House v. Mayorkas. The district court in Casa Libre issued a Declaratory Judgment stating that the tolling provisions outlined in DHS regulations are not in accordance with the 180-day timeframe for the adjudication of a special immigrant juvenile (SIJ) petition as required by statute, to the extent that the regulations allow adjudication beyond the 180-day timeframe."
