Delay and Deny: How the U.S. Government Condemns Aspiring Americans to Immigration Purgatory, is the first comprehensive account of the Controlled Application Review and Resolution Program (CARRP) and its harms in almost a decade.

The paper includes information from newly unsealed records in a class action lawsuit the ACLU, NWIRP, and partners have been litigating since 2017. These records, which the ACLU has also made public, confirm that USCIS puts people in CARRP processing even if they’ve done nothing wrong.
