US DV Britsimons

 

A District Judge (Judge Vargas) has vacated the 75 country pause policy in the CLINIC V Trump case. This summary judgement affects ALL cases (DV included) where the case was refused because of this policy. The DV pause policy remains, but this gives a clear roadmap (similar to the Dorcas judgement) to removing the pauses. The Judge found that the policy was “patently unlawful and must be vacated under the APA.” It’s worth remembering that the DV pause had even less rationale behind it and was implemented in a similarly illegal manner. So – for now the DV pause is still in place, but I am hopeful to see it removed soon so that as many visas as possible can be issued. If you would like to read the summary judgement in todays case – it is available here: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.657161/gov.uscourts.nysd.657161.83.0.pdf Vacated is the past tense of vacate. It has a few common meanings: 1. Left a place / moved out → နေရာမှ ထွက်ခွာသည် / ဖယ်ရှားသည် The tenants vacated the apartment. → အိမ်ငှားတွေက တိုက်ခန်းကနေ ပြောင်းရွှေ့ထွက်ခွာသွားတယ်။ 2. Legal meaning — canceled or set aside a court decision/order → တရားရုံးအမိန့် သို့မဟုတ် ဆုံးဖြတ်ချက်ကို ပယ်ဖျက်သည် / အာဏာမသက်ရောက်တော့အောင် ဖယ်ရှားသည် The judge vacated the previous order. → တရားသူကြီးက အရင်အမိန့်ကို ပယ်ဖျက်လိုက်တယ်။ His conviction was vacated. → သူ့အပေါ် ချမှတ်ထားတဲ့ အပြစ်ရှိကြောင်း ဆုံးဖြတ်ချက်ကို ပယ်ဖျက်လိုက်တယ်။ 3. Left a position or office He vacated his position as chairman. → သူက ဥက္ကဋ္ဌရာထူးကနေ နုတ်ထွက်/ဖယ်ခွာခဲ့တယ်။ Easy way to remember: Vacate = leave, empty, or legally cancel/set aside. In that sentence, “vacated” means the judge canceled/set aside the policy or the prior legal action that allowed it to operate. So: “A District Judge (Judge Vargas) has vacated the 75-country pause policy in the CLINIC v. Trump case.” can be understood as: “District Judge Vargas က CLINIC v. Trump အမှုမှာ နိုင်ငံ ၇၅ နိုင်ငံအပေါ် ချမှတ်ထားတဲ့ pause policy ကို တရားဝင် ပယ်ဖျက်/ဖယ်ရှားလိုက်ပါတယ်။” Here vacated does not mean “left a place.” It is the legal meaning: vacate an order/policy = set it aside so that it no longer has legal effect in the way it previously did.
