Seeking to enforce U.S. laws protecting our environment
WASHINGTON – IRLI has filed an amended complaint broadening the scope of its ground-breaking environmental lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). IRLI’s lawsuit, Whitewater Draw Natural Resource Conservation District v. DHS Secretary Nielsen, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, challenges the agency’s failure to investigate the environmental impact of our nation’s immigration policies. In its amended complaint, IRLI takes aim at eight major DHS programs, including massive employment- and family-based immigration initiatives and the (still-ongoing) DACA program.
