DHS Implements Regulation to Enhance Attorney
Discipline Program
WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a new rule to enhance
the integrity of the immigration adjudication process. The rule clarifies who is authorized to
represent applicants and petitioners in cases before DHS; updates and enhances the standards
and disciplinary procedures for these immigration practitioners; and eliminates duplicative
immigration adjudication rules, procedures and authority.
The new rules and procedures published today in the Federal Register take effect March 3.
