Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 45 of 308

INTRODUCTION

1. Plaintiffs are 493 Diversity Visa program selectees and derivative beneficiaries from 70

countries. Plaintiffs include doctors and nurses with experience treating COVID-19,

successful businesspeople intent on creating jobs in the United States, two veterinarians,

people fleeing conflicts and persecution, and children with limitless potential. Plaintiffs

all yearn for a life in the shining city upon a hill and its beacon of hope – the American

Dream.

2. Plaintiffs hereby challenge the U.S. Department of State’s (hereafter referred to as the

“Department”) adoption of policies, procedures, and practices implemented pursuant to

Presidential Proclamation 10014 (hereafter referred to as the “PP 10014”), and its extension

in Presidential Proclamation 10052 (“PP 10052), suspending the processing of immigrant

visa applications for individuals selected in the fiscal year 2020 Diversity Visa Program

(hereafter referred to as “DV-2020 program”) and the resulting unlawful withholding of

issuances of visas to eligible applicants.

3. All Plaintiffs, either as DV-2020 selectees or as derivative spouses or children, have been

invited by the Department to apply for the DV-2020 program.

4. All Plaintiffs have submitted immigrant visa applications pursuant to their DV-2020

program selection, and submitted all required documents to the Department’s Kentucky

Consular Center (“KCC”).

5. Plaintiffs hereby seek an order requiring Defendant President Trump, Secretary Michael

R. Pompeo, and the Department to set aside the Department’s unlawful policies,

procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant visa applications for

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 46 of 308

DV-2020 selectees, fulfill their mandatory, non-discretionary duty to adjudicate Plaintiffs’

immigrant visa applications, and issue decisions on their applications before September 30,

2020.

6. For Plaintiffs, the stakes are high and a matter of extreme urgency. By statute, DV-2020

program selectees must have their visas adjudicated and issued before midnight on

September 30, 2020.

7. Should the Plaintiffs not have their visas issued before midnight on September 30, 2020,

barring a protective order from this Court, Plaintiffs, will lose their opportunity to

immigrate to the United States of America through the DV-2020 program as a result of

Defendants’ unlawful actions.

8. With over 23 million entrants a year, a diversity visa entrant has less than a one percent

chance to be selected to apply for the visa. The probability of being selected twice is

.00025%.

9. Defendants have suspended the DV-2020 program through policies, procedures, and

practices that are contrary to the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”),federal

regulations, and preexisting Department policies governing the adjudication of the

program.

10. Defendants’ policies, procedures, and practices suspend: (1) processing of applications for

the DV-2020 program at the KCC; (2) scheduling of mandatory immigrant visa interviews

for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries at United States

Embassies and Consulates; and (3) adjudications for already submitted applications

pending decisions by consular officers.

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 47 of 308

11. Defendants’ policies, procedures, and practices will remain in place through September 30,

2020 and effectively end the DV-2020 program.

12. Defendants policies, procedures, and practices suspending the Diversity Visa Program

rests, in part, on the Presidential Proclamation 10014, Proclamation Suspending Entry of

Aliens Who Present a Risk to the U.S. Labor Market Following the Coronavirus Outbreak

(April 23, 2020) (hereafter referred to as “PP 10014”), and its extension in Presidential

Proclamation 10052, Suspension of Entry of Immigrants and Nonimmigrants Who Present

a Risk to the United States Labor Market During the Recovery Following the 2019 Novel

Coronavirus Outbreak (hereafter referred to as “PP 10052”).

13. Plaintiffs have received emails from U.S. Embassies and Consulates stating:

“Unfortunately, Diversity Visa applicants are not exempt of the current Travel Ban and

there are [sic] no waiver eligible. Hence, the Embassy is putting all Diversity Visa

applications on hold until the Travel Ban is lifted.”

14. State Department officials and media outlets have repeated this message and informed all

DV-2020 visa applicants that the adjudications of their visas have been suspended through

December 31, 2020 pursuant to PP 10014 and PP 10052.

15. The Department’s practices, policies, and procedures refusing to adjudicate immigrant visa

applications for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries and issue visas to

eligible applicants is unlawful and violates non-discretionary duty to adjudicate immigrant

DEFENDANTS

241

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 286 of 308

2114. Defendant Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America. He is

sued in his official capacity.

2115. Defendant Michael R. Pompeo is the Secretary of State for the United States of

America. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, he has the authority to issue

regulations to implement the Diversity Visa Lottery Program. 8 U.S.C. §§ 1153, 1154.

He also prescribes the Visa Lottery fee, which is $330 per DV winner or derivative.

C.F.R. § 42.33(h)(2)(i) He is sued in his official capacity.

2116. Defendant Michael R. Pompeo administers the Diversity Visa Lottery Program

through the Bureau of Consular Affairs’ Kentucky Consular Center (KCC), located in

Williamsburg, Kentucky, which opened in 2000 to administer the program. As of May

2019, KCC had approximately 430 contract staff members working in two shifts and on

weekends and 5 Bureau of Consular Affairs direct-hire employees, including a Foreign

Service officer Director, all working under the direction of Defendant Michael R.

Pompeo. Among those, 21 contract staff members in KCC’s DV unit handle inquiries

about the program, process the electronic visa applications from DV selectees, schedule

overseas interviews, and work with U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services to process

selectees already in the United States.

FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

A. DIVERSITY VISA IMMIGRANT PROGRAM

2117. The Immigration Act of 1990 created a new immigration category, the Diversity

Immigrant Visa Program, to increase diversity in the U.S. immigrant population by

242

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 287 of 308

providing 50,000 Diversity visas to nationals of countries that have had low immigration

rates to the United States. Public Law 101-649; 8 U.S.C. § 1153(c)

2118. The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program has led to a broader mix of nationalities

represented in the U.S. immigrant population, creating a U.S. better equipped to understand

and relate to the diversity of the world abroad.

2119. The Congressionally mandated program issues visas specifically for immigrants

who are natives of countries and regions from where fewer than 50,000 immigrants came

to the United States over the previous five years.

2120. Each fiscal year, the Department grants approximately 50,000 diversity immigrant

visas to individuals from countries underrepresented in the immigration process, which

allow recipients who are granted admission to enter the country as lawful permanent

residents who may live and work in the United States indefinitely. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1151(e),

1153(c)(1).

2121. Hopeful immigrants must submit entries during the application period.

2122. From those entries, the Department then chooses eligible selectees to apply for

immigrant visas.

2123. A diversity visa selectee is entitled to apply for an immigrant visa only during the

fiscal year for which the entry was submitted. See INA § 204(a)(1)(I)(ii)(II).

2124. The diversity visa program is administered at the Department’s KCC. See 9 FAM

502.6-4(c)(1)(a).

2125. After their selection, selectee receives a first notifications letter informing the

selectee of their selection and visa number. Id.

243

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 288 of 308

2126. The visa number, assigned by the KCC, is an administrative device used by the

State Department to ensure that it does not grant more than the statutorily allocated 50,000

visas per year.

2127. Selectees must then submit a DS-260, Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration

Application and various supporting documents. See 9 FAM 502.6-4(d)(1)(a),(b).

2128. When a selectee submits the DS-260, Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration

Application and supporting documentation, KCC considers the case documentarily

qualified.

2129. Once the case is documentarily qualified, the Department must schedule the

selectee for an immigrant visa interview at a United States Embassy or Consulate.

2130. The Foreign Affairs Manual and associated Handbooks (hereafter collectively

referred to as the “FAM”) are a single, comprehensive, and authoritative source for the

Department's organization structures, policies, and procedures that govern the operations

of the Department, the Foreign Service and, when applicable, other federal agencies. The

FAM conveys codified information to Department staff and contractors so they can carry

out their responsibilities in accordance with statutory, executive, and Department

mandates.

2131. The FAM states that “KCC will schedule an appointment for a ‘documentarily

qualified’ applicant when his or her regional lottery rank number is about to become

current.” 9 FAM 502.6-4(d)(2) (emphasis added).

2132. Each month, the Department publishes a Diversity Visa Bulletin summarizing the

availability of immigrant visas for diversity visa selectees.

244

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 289 of 308

2133. Selectees with current visas numbers are entitled to an immigrant visa interview to

make a formal application for an immigrant visa before a consular officer.

2134. All Plaintiffs have an available immigrant visa pursuant to their DV-2020 program

selection.

2135. The Department’s July 2020 Diversity Visa Bulletin demonstrates that all Plaintiffs

have an available immigrant visa.

Visa Bulletin for July, Number 43, Volume X, Department of State, Washington, D.C.

available at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-

bulletin/2020/visa-bulletin-for-july-2020.html/.

2136. As of July 2020, immigrant visas were available to all Plaintiffs.

245

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 290 of 308

2137. Because the Department must schedule immigrant visa interviews for DV-2020

selectees when their application is about to be current, the Department also publishes the

forthcoming months visa bulletin for DV-2020 selectees.

2138. The Department’s Visa Bulletin for July states that on August 1, 2020 all DV-2020

selections will be current and eligible for immigrant visa interviews.

Id.

2139. The entitlement requires the Department to schedule the selectee for a mandatory

immigrant interview at a US Embassy or Consulate to determine the selectee’s

qualifications for the diversity visa and admissibility into the United States pursuant to the

laws of the United States of America.

2140. At the time of the interview, the consular officer must issue or refuse the immigrant

visa application.

2141. If the selectee is admissible to the United States, the consular officer “shall” issue

the selectee an immigrant visa and may only refuse a visa “upon a ground specifically set

out in the law or implementing regulations.” See 22 C.F.R. § 40.6.

246

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 291 of 308

2142. Because the diversity visa program restarts each fiscal year, diversity visas may not

be issued after midnight on September 30 of the fiscal year of the selection. See 8 U.S.C.

§§ 1153(c)(1), 1154(a)(1)(I)(ii)(II); 22 C.F.R. § 42.33(a)(1)(d); see also 31 U.S.C. § 1102.

2143. If a selectee is not issued a visa prior to midnight on September 30 of the fiscal year

of the selection, the selectee cannot be issued a visa based on his or her visa selection for

that fiscal year.

B. DIVERSITY VISA ANIMUS

2144. At 4:30 AM on November 1, 2017, President Donald J. Trump made clear on twitter

his hostility towards the Diversity Visa Program.

2145. In a cabinet meeting later that day, the President stated that “I am today starting the

process of terminating the diversity lottery program.” Also stating, “Diversery [sic] and

247

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 292 of 308

diversity lottery. Diversity lottery. Sounds nice. It's not nice. It's not good. It's not good. It

hasn't been good. And we've been against it.”

Available at https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/926155393490878464).

2146. The next day, recognizing the President did not garner the legislative backing

necessary to end the Congressionally mandated program, the President stated “We're being

stopped by Democrats because they're obstructionists. And, honestly, they don't want to do

what's right for our country. We need strength. We need resolve. We have to stop it. So,

we're going to get rid of this lottery program as soon as possible.”

248

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 293 of 308

2147. On December 15, 2017, while speaking about the Diversity Visa Program the

President stated "They give us their worst people, they put 'em in a bin," Trump continued,

making a lifting gesture from an imaginary bin. He went on to say, "But in his hand when

he's picking these people, it's really the worst of the worst. 'Congratulations, you're going

to the United States.' What a system."

2148. It is unclear if the President was referring to career State Department officials at the

KCC or foreign services officers at the United States Embassies and Consulates who place

both their and their families lives at risk serving the citizens of the United States and

enforcing our immigration laws in his statement on giving the United States the “worst of

the worst.”

2149. On December 29, 2017, the President made clear in a tweet that “there can be no

DACA without the desperately needed WALL at the Southern Border and an END to the

horrible Chain Migration & ridiculous Lottery System of Immigration etc.”

2150. On January 4, 2018, the President tweeted “We must BUILD THE WALL, stop

illegal immigration, end chain migration & cancel the visa lottery. The current system is

unsafe & unfair to the great people of our country – time for change!” He repeated this

sentiment in tweets on January 9, 11, 12, 16, and two more on February 6.

2151. On February 8, 2018, the President tweeted “Time to end the visa lottery. Congress

must secure the immigration system and protect Americans.”

249

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 294 of 308

2152. On February 10, 2018, the President again detailed his intention of ending the

Diversity Visa Program, stating “My Administration has identified three major priorities

for creating a safe, modern and lawful immigration system: fully securing the border,

ending chain migration, and canceling the visa lottery.”

Available at https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/962469767109009408.

250

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 295 of 308

2153. During the President’s 2018 State of the Union address, he reiterated his intention

to gut the Diversity Visa Program as part of his immigration overhaul.

2154. In tweets sent on February 15, May 26, June 15, July 29, and July 30, 2018, the

President continued to call for ending the DV Lottery program.

2155. In May of 2019, Trump unveiled an immigration proposal, drafted largely by the

president’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner. Again, the President proposed to

end the Diversity Visa Program.

2156. At a campaign rally in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2019, President Trump painted a wildly

inaccurate picture of how the diversity visa program works to a ruckus group of his

supporters.

2157. The President stated, “And you pick people out of the lottery,” gesturing as if he

were picking names out of a hat. “Well let’s see, this one is a murderer, this one robbed

four banks, this one I better not say, this one another murderer, ladies and gentlemen,

another murderer.”

2158. The President also stated, “You think [countries] are going to put their great citizens

[….] into the lottery? Look at the people they put into these lotteries.”

2159. Despite his tenacious twitter campaign, the President again failed to garner the

legislative support for ending the Diversity Visa Program.

2160. The President’s longstanding animus towards the Diversity Visa Program and its

immigrant participants, failed efforts to garner the Congressional support to end the

Diversity Visa Program, and intent to unlawfully end the Congressional mandated

program is the basis for the Defendant’s unlawful policies, procedures, and practices

suspending the adjudication of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees.

251

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 296 of 308

2161. Defendants are now relying, in part, on the PP 10014 and PP 10052 to circumvent

the Immigration and Nationality Act, federal regulations , preexisting Department policies,

and the text of PP 10014 and PP 10052 to unlawfully suspend the adjudication of immigrant

visa applications for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.

2162. Defendants’ policies, procedures, and practices are a violation of the Immigration

and Nationality Act, Administrative Procedure Act, federal regulations, existing

Department policies, and the text of PP 10014 and 10052 governing the adjudication of

immigrant visa applications for Diversity Visa Program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries.

C. DEFENDANTS HAVE CHANGED THE LAW AND SUSPENDED THE ADJUDICATION OF IMMIGRANT VISAS FOR DV-2020 SELECTEES

2163. The Department has implemented policies, procedures, and practices suspending

the adjudication of immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees through the DV-2020 deadline

– effectively ending the program.

2164. The graph below, prepared by Plaintiff Tiago Vaz Duarte Soares, demonstrates the

suspension of immigrant visa adjudication for the DV-2020 through the end of May in

comparison to the DV-2019, DV-2018, and DV-2017.

252

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 297 of 308

2165. The Department cannot rely upon any statutory authority, regulations, presidential

proclamations, executive orders, or preexisting Department policies to support a lawful

implementation of policies, procedures, and practices that suspend the adjudication and

issuance of immigrant visas for eligible DV-2020 selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries.

2166. The Department has suspended adjudication of immigrant visa applications for DV-

2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries at the KCC pursuant to the

Department’s policies, procedures, and practices.

2167. The KCC has suspended assigning visa numbers to DV-2020 program selectees

and their derivative beneficiaries pursuant to the Department’s policies, procedures, and

practices suspending the adjudication immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees.

2168. The KCC has suspended transferring documentarily complete immigrant visa

applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries pursuant to

the Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of

253

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 298 of 308

immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries.

2169. United States Embassies and Consulates have suspended conducting immigrant

visa interviews for immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees pursuant

to Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of

immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries.

2170. United States Embassies and Consulates have suspended accepting evidence in

support of immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees pursuant to

policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant visa

applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.

2171. United States Embassies and Consulates have ended conducting security checks for

immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries pursuant to policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of

immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries.

2172. United States Embassies and Consulates have suspended all adjudications for

already interviewed immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their

derivative beneficiaries pursuant to policies, procedures, and practices suspending the

adjudication of immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their

derivative beneficiaries.

2173. United States Embassies and Consulates have suspended PP 10014 and PP 10052

exemption determination for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries

254

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 299 of 308

pursuant to policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant

visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.

2174. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending immigrant visa

applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries will not

restart adjudications of immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 program selectees and

their derivative beneficiaries before October 1, 2020 effectively ending the DV-2020

program.

D. DEFENDANTS UNLAWFULLY RELY ON PP 10014 AND PP 10052 TO SUSPEND THE ADJUDICATION AND ISSUANCE OF IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATIONS FOR DV-2020 PROGRAM SELECTEES AND THEIR DERIVATIVE BENEFICIARIES.

2175. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending immigrant visa

applications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries relies in part

on PP 10014 and PP 10052.

2176. The Department has adopted policies, procedures, and practices directing the KCC,

United States Embassies and Consulates, and consular officers to suspend immigrant visas

adjudications prior to a final decision to issue or refuse those immigrant visa applications

pursuant to PP 10014 and PP 10052.

2177. PP 10014 and PP 10052 mandate that consular officers “shall determine, in his or

her discretion, whether an immigrant has established his or her eligibility for an exception”

to the proclamation.

2178. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices preclude consular officers

from determining whether PP 10014 and PP 10052 is applicable to DV-2020 selectees and

their derivative beneficiaries.

255

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 300 of 308

2179. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending immigrant visa

applications for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries also conflate the PP

10014 and PP 10052’s suspension of entry with a ban on visa issuance.

2180. PP 10014 and PP 10052 do not preclude the issuance of immigrant visas for DV-

2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.

2181. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending immigrant visa

adjudications for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries violate

statutes ,regulations, and preexisting Department policies requiring the issuance of

immigrant visas to diversity visa lottery winners who are statutorily eligible.

2182. The Department has failed to adhere to and has implemented policies and

procedures contrary to law, regulation, preexisting Department policies, and PP 10014 and

PP 10052.

CAUSES OF ACTION

First Claim for Relief Agency Action That is Arbitrary and Capricious, An Abuse of Discretion, and Otherwise Not in Accordance with Law in Violation of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A)

2183. Plaintiffs reallege the forgoing allegation as if set forth fully herein.

2184. The Department is an agency subject to the requirements of the Administrative

Procedure Act (hereafter referred to as the “APA”). 5 U.S.C. § 701(b)(1).

2185. Under 5 U.S.C. § 706(2), courts shall hold unlawful and set aside agency action

that is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with

law; contrary to constitutional right, power, privilege, or immunity; in excess of statutory

jurisdiction, authority, or limitations; or without observance of procedure required by law.

256

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 301 of 308

2186. The implementation of the Department’s policies, procedures, and practices

suspending the adjudication and issuance of immigrant visas applications for DV-2020

program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries constitutes a final agency action that is

reviewable by this Court.

2187. The policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant

visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries are arbitrary and

capricious, an abuse of discretion, and not in accordance with law because the Defendant

lacked the statutory authority to unilaterally suspend the adjudications of immigrant visas

for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.

2188. The policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication of immigrant

visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries strips the

Congressionally mandated entitlements of DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries and it does so by rewriting the immigration laws and contradicting the

priorities adopted by Congress.

2189. Defendant also disregarded the serious reliance interests engendered by the DV-

2020 program. Defendants must, in addition to demonstrating that there are good reasons

for the new policy, offer “a reasoned explanation . . . for disregarding facts and

circumstances that underlay or were engendered by the prior policy.” FCC v. Fox

Television, 556 U.S. 502, 515 (2009).

2190. Plaintiffs were harmed and continued to be harmed by these unlawful acts.

Second Claim for Relief Agency Action Without Observance of Procedure Required by Law In Violation of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(D)

2191. Plaintiffs reallege the forgoing allegation as if set forth fully herein.

257

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 302 of 308

2192. The APA requires administrative agencies to follow notice-and-comment

rulemaking procedures to promulgate substantive rules. 5 U.S.C. § 553.

2193. The Administrative Procedures Act defines “rule” broadly to include “the whole or

part of an agency statement of general or particular applicability and future effect designed

to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or describing the organization,

procedure, or practice requirements of an agency and includes the approval or prescription

for the future of rates, wages . . .” 5 U.S.C. § 551(4).

2194. The Department promulgated and relied upon the policies, procedures, and

practices suspending adjudication and issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program

selectees and their derivative beneficiaries without authority and without notice-and-

comment rulemaking. It is therefore unlawful.

2195. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending adjudication and

issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries constitutes a substantive rule subject to the APA’s notice-and-comment

requirements.

2196. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication

and issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries constitute a substantive rule because it affirmatively circumscribes the

Department’s Congressional mandate and nondiscretionary duty to adjudicate and issue

decisions for immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees.

2197. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudication

of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries

258

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 303 of 308

constitute a substantive rule because it is a categorical rule, which applies to all DV-2020

selectees and their derivative beneficiaries.

2198. In implementing the Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending

the adjudication of immigrant visas for the DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries, Defendant impermissibly announced a new rule without undertaking notice-

and-comment rulemaking.

2199. The Plaintiffs were harmed and continue to be harmed by these unlawful acts.

Third Claim Agency Action Not Concluded Within a Reasonable Time 5 U.S.C. § 555(b)

2200. Pursuant to the APA, the Defendant has a nondiscretionary duty “to conclude a

matter presented to it” “within a reasonable time.” 5 U.S.C. § 555(b),

2201. The Department has failed to adjudicate immigrant visas for DV-2020 program

selectees and their derivative beneficiaries within a reasonable time.

2202. The Department has implemented policies, procedures, and practices suspending

adjudications and issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries since at least March 2020 – six months before the statutory conclusion of the

DV-2020 program.

2203. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending adjudications and

issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries is a

final agency action. It is the consummation to the Department’s agency on this matter.

2204. The Department has nothing further to do to issue directions to its employees at the

KCC or its consular officers at US Embassies and Consulates around the world regarding

259

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 304 of 308

suspending adjudications of immigrant visas for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries.

2205. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices suspending the adjudications

for and issuance of immigrant visas for DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries will have legal consequences.

2206. The Department will continue to refuse to adjudicate and issue immigrant visas for

DV-2020 program selectees and their derivative beneficiaries through September 30,

2020, effectively ending the DV-2020 program.

2207. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices directing employees at the

KCC and the US Embassies and Consulates around the world to end the DV-2020 program

are not authorized by any governing law, and are arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of

discretion, and in violation of law.

2208. Defendant administers the Department’s policies, procedures, and practices

suspending the DV-2020 program.

2209. Pursuant to the APA, a court may compel agency action “unlawfully withheld or

unreasonably delayed.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(1)

2210. The Plaintiffs were harmed and continue to be harmed by these unlawful acts.

Fourth Claim

Mandamus Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1361

2211. Plaintiffs reallege the foregoing allegation as set forth full herein.

2212. Defendants have a clear non-discretionary duty to adjudicate immigrant visa

applications and issue visas to DV-2020 selectees and their derivative beneficiaries who

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 305 of 308

are eligible to receive them and not inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a), so long as visas

are remain available.

2213. PP 10014 and PP 10052 do no prohibit the issuance of diversity visas that must be

issued by September 30. It simply issues a temporary bar on entry to the United States.

2214. Defendant have a mandatory duty to adjudicate diversity immigrant visa

applications and issue diversity immigrant visas to statutorily eligible individuals, and there

is no legal bar to doing so. Accordingly, Plaintiffs have a clear and indisputable right to

relief, and Defendants have clear, nondiscretionary duty to act.

2215. No alternative remedy exists to compel Defendants’ action.

Fifth Claim Violation of the Take Care Clause, Art. II, § 3, Cl. 5

2216. Plaintiffs reallege the foregoing allegations as if set forth fully herein.

2217. The Department’s policies, procedures, and practices violate the President’s

constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” U.S. Const. art. II

§ 3, cl. 5.

2218. The Supreme Court has made clear that the Take Care Clause is judicially

enforceable against presidential invocations of dispensing power. See, e.g., Kendall v.

United States, 37 U.S. (12 Pet.) 524m 612-13(1838); Angelus Milling CO. v. Comm’r Of

Internal Revenue, 325 U.S. 293, 296 (1945).

2219. The Take Care Clause limits the President’s power and ensures that he will

faithfully execute the Congress’s laws – no rewrite them under the guise of executive

“discretion.”

2220. In this case, the President has taken action to end the law and its mandated

administration Diversity Visa Program by suspending the Department’s adjudication and

Case 1:20-cv-01856-TSC Document 5 Filed 07/17/20 Page 306 of 308

issuance of immigrant visa applications for DV-2020 selectees and their derivative

beneficiaries.

2221. The Defendant cannot faithfully execute the law by directly contravening

Congress’s objectives.

2222. The Plaintiffs were harmed and continue to be harmed by these unlawful acts.
