Bill overview
This bill, the Strengthening Immigration Procedures Act of 2025, allows individuals involved in immigration proceedings – including deportation and removal cases – to challenge their legal representation if they believe their lawyer provided ineffective assistance. To do so, they must demonstrate that their lawyer’s performance was deficient and that this deficiency harmed their case. The bill aims to remove a barrier that currently requires aliens to file complaints with state bar associations before seeking relief, which has been shown to discourage legal representation and hinder access to fair proceedings.
