AFL-CIO v. Chertoff – Challenging DHS' Failure to Conduct RFA on New Immigration Rules

U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

The Legal Foundation filed a brief urging the federal court to require the Department of Homeland Security to comply with the Regulatory Flexibility Act and conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis on "no-match" immigration regulations. These rules require employers that receive a "no-match" letter from the Social Security Administration to fire the employee, or risk civil or criminal penalties, unless the discrepancy can be resolved between the SSA and the employee within 90 days.

Status: PENDING. Amicus brief filed Sept. 19, 2007.
