Homeland Security Secretary Cherloff has claimed that the Orantes injunction interferes with efforts to end the catch and release practice. I am not aware of any provision in the Orantes injunction that would interfere with efforts to end the catch and release practice. In issuing the injunction. the court found that the former Immigration and Naturalization Service had engaged in a pattern and practice of coercing and otherwise improperly encouraging Salvadorans to waive their rights to a deportation hearing and to seek asylum as a defense to deportation. H.R. 6095 appears to be an attempt to terminate the Orantes injunction through legislation. but its reach goes beyond the injunction. Among other things. a judge would not be permitted to provide relief in any immigration case without attaching a written explanation of the impact the relief would have on national security. border security. immigration administration and enforcement. and public safety. It also would impose arbitrary. unreasonable time limits on courts attempting to provide prospective relief. DHS has filed a motion to dissolve the injunction.
