San Diego, Calif. – November 17, 2014 – Cooley LLP today announced that in light of significant public interest in Immigration Judge Ashley Tabaddor's suit against the Department of Justice, the firm has established a resource page to provide a source of easily accessible information about the case. Those accessing the resource page will have access to documents and information, including affidavits and other materials from an internal departmental investigation of the actions that form the basis of the suit.

The suit in question was filed on August 12, 2014, by Cooley against the Department of Justice, raising constitutional and discrimination-based challenges to a DOJ order requiring Judge Tabaddor to cease hearing any cases involving Iranian nationals indefinitely—an order based on Judge Tabaddor's race and national origin and issued by virtue of her civic engagement and community service activities while off the bench.
