Teleconference with Muhammad Faridi

Teleconference with Muhammad Faridi of Patterson Belknap on March 25, 2020 Wednesday, March 25, 2020– On Wednesday, March 25, 2020, the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists (AAJLJ) invites you to a lunchtime teleconference with Muhammad U. Faridi, Litigation partner at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP. In “The Importance of Sharing the Jewish Experience in Immigration Litigation,” Mr. Faridi will outline the various ongoing immigration and asylum-related litigations, including those involving governmental policies. Currently, the biggest immigration litigation concerns the ACA (Asylum Cooperative Agreements) Rule, which aims to send individuals seeking asylum along the U.S./Mexico border to Guatemala or other countries with which the United States has entered into “Asylum Cooperative Agreements.” This rule applied to individuals who arrive at a U.S. port of entry, or enter, or attempt to enter the U.S., between ports of entry, on or after November 19, 2019. Mr. Faridi will also recommend roles that religious organizations, with a Jewish focus, should have in these types of lawsuits, and why it is important for the courts to hear that perspective.
