This required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their asylum claims went through the court system. Several immigrants’ rights organizations filed suit together in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to block the policy in Innovation Law Lab v. Nielsen. The District Court for the Northern District of California issued an injunction blocking the MPP. This was appealed to the Ninth Circuit Appellate Court where the injunction was stayed in Innovation Law Lab v. McAleenan. This thesis will first examine how immigrants’ rights organizations are attempting to expand human rights frameworks through juris generativity in the lawsuit, Innovation Law Lab v. Nielsen. It will also delve into Innovation Law Lab v. McAleenan, to examine the jurispathic nature of the court system. Chapter two focuses on the connection between the legal mobilization and social movements for immigrant justice and expounds upon how the movements have responded to the ruling in ILL v. McAleenan. Chapter three centers on three subsequent court cases that utilize the rights claims articulated in ILL v. Nielsen. These three cases are examined in the context of their juris generative framing of human rights and the jurispathic response from the court system. This thesis will argue that the formation of legal meaning through interaction with the courts can benefit progressive social movements and organizations because the interaction itself has the potential to expand rights discourse in the future. 2020-09-28 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1588851089203401 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1588851089203401 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
