U.S. Supreme Court justices on Tuesday?struggled?over a bid by President Joe Biden's administration to implement guidelines - challenged by two conservative-leaning states -shifting immigration enforcement toward countering public safety threats.
The justices heard about two hours of arguments in the administration's request to overturn a judge's?ruling?in favor of Texas and Louisiana that halted U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidelines narrowing the scope of those who can be targeted by immigration agents for arrest and deportation. The court's three liberal members generally signaled support for the administration while the six conservatives appeared more divided, with Justice Samuel Alito embracing the arguments made by the states while others posed tough questions to both sides.
A?New York lawyer?accused of filing?more than 1,000 "fraudulent and frivolous" immigration applications was disbarred six years after being acquitted of criminal charges alleging the same behavior, according to a?document?filed in New York's First Appellate District Tuesday. Owolabi Salis was accused by New York's Attorney Grievance Committee, which investigates lawyers' professional conduct, of intentionally filing 1,185 frivolous green card applications over the course of eight years. Only one was approved, according to the filing.
Salis was found to be in violation of New York's professional conduct rules in March by a referee assigned by the New York Supreme Court to hear the charges. In Tuesday's filing the court granted the committee's motion to confirm the referee's recommended sanction of loss of his license to practice law.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) accidentally published the names and other personal information of more than 6,000 asylum seekers on its website on Monday. The mistake could put the immigrants, many of whom fled persecution and torture in their home countries, in danger, immigration attorneys told the?LA Times.
The agency, which also released the immigrants’ birthdates, nationalities, and detention centers where they were being held, said it is looking into the incident and would inform the affected migrants. The personal information of asylum seekers must by federal law be kept confidential. The agency said the data release occurred after a routine update of its website.
