NILA submitted comments in response to the Sixth Circuit’s local rule change requiring parties to provide the court with notice where the respondent has scheduled the deportation of an individual who has filed a motion to stay of removal, to allow the Court to “decide whether, and to what degree, to expedite briefing and submission of the motion, and whether to administratively stay the order of removal pending resolution of the motion.” NILA requested that the court to expand the rule to: provide a 10-day automatic stay of final agency removal orders; provide an administrative stay upon filing a stay motion until the motion is fully briefed and the Court has ruled; require the government to file the administrative record before substantive briefing on stay motions; and set forth a reasonable, yet expeditious, briefing schedule for stay motions.
