The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a summary order on February 2, 2026, in the immigration case *Criollo-Casicana v. Bondi*, involving multiple family members seeking relief from immigration enforcement actions. The case was heard at the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse in New York City by a three-judge panel consisting of Circuit Judges Pierre N. Leval, Alison J. Nathan, and Maria Araújo Kahn.
The petitioners in the case include Jenny Criollo-Casicana, Luis Fernando Tuza-Pilapanta, and two minor children identified only by their initials A.T-C. and D.T-C. in accordance with federal privacy rules for minors. The respondent is Pamela Bondi, who serves as the United States Attorney General under the current administration. The case appears to stem from a Board of Immigration Appeals decision, as indicated by the case record references to "BIA" and Immigration Judge Ling.
The Second Circuit's decision was issued as a summary order, which carries specific legal implications under federal appellate procedure. Summary orders typically resolve cases without establishing binding precedent, allowing the court to efficiently dispose of matters that do not require full written opinions. While the specific details of the immigration relief sought and the court's reasoning remain confidential in this summary order format, the resolution provides finality for the Criollo-Casicana family's legal challenge.
The case represents one of many immigration matters that have come before federal appellate courts as families navigate complex immigration proceedings and seek judicial review of administrative decisions.
