#427 Federal Court update w/ Kevin A. Gregg, Esq. [Sept. 2025]

In Episode 427 of the Immigration Lawyers Toolbox® Podcast, host John Q. Khosravi, Esq. welcomes back Kevin A. Gregg, Esq. for the monthly federal court and BIA decision roundup. Together, they dive into the September 2025 cases shaping U.S. immigration law — from the Fourth Circuit’s major ruling redefining “material support” for terrorism, to the impact of Loper Bright on Chevron deference, and what these shifts mean for practitioners handling removal defense, asylum, and appellate work. They also explore key developments in CAT protection, vacated convictions, and the importance of Article I immigration judges in a time of judicial upheaval. 📘 Whether you’re a seasoned immigration litigator or a policy watcher, this is a must-listen for understanding where the law is headed next.
