A Light Schedule of Immigration-Related Business Likely During the Week Ahead as Policy Watchers Await Supreme Court Decision on DACA
Monday, May 25, 2020
 | Little legislative action on immigration is expected to take place during the week beginning May 25, 2020.. The Senate is out of town for its week-long Memorial Day recess, leaving the House behind for a workweek that is abbreviated by Memorial Day on Monday and a quick exit upon the close of business on Thursday. |
Notwithstanding the relatively light work week, however, the eyes of immigration stakeholders and policy watchers will be fixed across the street from the U.S. Capitol Building as they await a possible decision from the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) on the legality of President Trump's efforts to shutdown the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
In all, from the perspective of those interested in immigration, refugee, homeland security, or human trafficking policy, the week's schedule includes two hearings or briefings (both occurring in the House), no markups, and just one scheduled floor action (also occurring in the House) on matters of consequence.
