On April 1, 2020, the Department of Justice ("the Department" or "DOJ") published an interim final rule ("IFR") with request for comments that amended its regulations relating to the organization of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("Board") by adding two Board member positions, thereby expanding the Board to 23 members. This final rule responds to comments received and adds five additional Board member positions, thereby expanding the Board to 28 members. The final rule also clarifies that temporary Board members serve renewable terms of up to six months and that temporary Board members are appointed by the Attorney General.
