Why the model tagged it this way: The joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to repeal a specific DHS rule that lengthened the automatic extension of EADs for renewal applicants. This directly affects employment verification processes for immigrants, expanding immigration enforcement in the employment context by shortening the grace period during which employers can accept expired or pending EADs.
