This joint resolution seeks to overturn a federal regulation issued by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which oversees immigration courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals. The rule in question, published in February 2026, established new procedures governing how appeals are handled by the Board of Immigration Appeals. Using authority under the Congressional Review Act, lawmakers are formally disapproving this rule, which would nullify it and prevent it from taking effect or being enforced. The measure primarily affects immigrants navigating the appeals process, immigration attorneys, and the administrative functioning of immigration courts. Introduced by Senator Kaine with Senator Durbin, the resolution was fast-tracked after the Judiciary Committee was discharged from further consideration in June 2026, placing it directly on the Senate calendar for a vote.
