Our runners up for Litigator of the Week include Kevin Fee, Scott Stein, Stephanie Hales and Naomi Igra of Sidley Austin. They teamed up with the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Justice Action Center and the Innovation Law Lab to stop implementation of the Trump administration’s attempt to ban immigrants based solely on their ability to obtain health insurance.
Presidential Proclamation No. 9945 would have required prospective immigrants to show that they’d be covered by “approved health insurance” within 30 days of entering the U.S., or that they had sufficient wealth to pay for “reasonably foreseeable medical costs.”
