Eclipse Partners’ volunteer work at “Mongolia: The Story of a Democratic Oasis: An Exhibition” was included in Mongolian National Broadcaster’s and Montsame’s respective coverage of the exhibition. Our firm is grateful to have participated in this meaningful event and to have contributed to sharing Mongolia’s democratic story with a wider audience.

Organized by New Neighbor Initiative (NNI), the exhibition opened on October 5, 2026, at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. It showcased the work of noted Mongolian photojournalist Tsatsralt Sereeter and political cartoonist Tsogtbayar Samandar, whose photography and political satire illuminate Mongolia’s transition to democracy and the continuing importance of free expression.

On October 5, 2026, Eclipse Partners had the privilege of hosting a dinner honoring noted Mongolian photojournalist Tsatsralt Sereeter and political cartoonist Tsogtbayar Samandar—two artists whose work bears witness to Mongolia’s transition from communism to democracy and the courage required to speak freely in the face of state repression.

The dinner served as the capstone to Day 1 of New Neighbor Initiative’s (NNI’s) “Mongolia: The Story of a Democratic Oasis: An Exhibition.” Held at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C., the exhibition showcased both men’s work, bringing Mongolia’s democratic journey to an American audience through documentary photography and political satire.

The United States represents many things to many people. It is a shining beacon of hope for those who give up everything, voluntarily or involuntarily, for the chance at a better life; and it is a vile caricature of villainy for those caught in the crossfire of its mideast imperialist projects. Its people strive for it to embody the example of the former, always, yet time and again there is a certain ambivalence about how liberty and justice for all is defined in the letter of law.

Today, this ambivalence is on full display, as—among innumerable other things—the executive branch exercises unprecedented authority over immigration enforcement. As of today, approximately one-fifth of immigration judges have been replaced since January of 2025, with new hires widely advertised as being so-called “deportation judges.”[1] It does not take a lawyer to observe that this is in direct conflict with the intentions of Congress and of the American people when the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) explicitly prescribes an immigration judge with the authority to adjudicate administrative claims for immigration relief—not to simply serve as a foundation to expedite deportation. This example is a microcosm of the extent to which the mission of the U.S. government’s immigration apparatus is being warped and removed from its originally-intended objective—and its moral core. No longer an impartial jurist, it is increasingly becoming a soulless assembly line for deportation orders for those without legal expertise.

At Eclipse Immigration Partners, we believe high-quality immigration representation should be both effective and accessible.

After reviewing current market pricing and evaluating how we can continue providing strong legal representation at a more competitive cost, we have decided to significantly reduce our attorney fees for several Adjustment of Status services.

Recent reporting by The Wall Street Journal describes a stepped-up federal focus on commercial truck drivers, including enforcement operations on highways, scrutiny of commercial-driver licensing and training programs, and federal efforts to obtain state-held driver data. The reported developments are significant for immigrant drivers, their families, and employers that rely on them.

On July 27, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced an important change to the affirmative asylum process. Under a newly issued interim final rule, USCIS may refer certain asylum applications directly to an immigration judge without first conducting an asylum interview. The rule took effect immediately.

This past weekend, the Eclipse Partners LLC team had the pleasure of participating in Naadam festivities in Arlington, Virginia. We are deeply grateful to the Mongolian Business Council of East Coast and the Mongolian Community Association in the Washington, D.C. area for organizing such a vibrant celebration of Mongolian culture, heritage, and community, and for inviting us to be a part of this special event.

We would like to inform our clients and community of a temporary technical issue that affected one of our firm's email accounts.

Our info@eclipselaw.org email address experienced a service disruption and was unable to receive incoming emails from approximately 9:00 a.m. on July 6 until 11:00 a.m. on July 7. We have identified the cause of the issue, and it has now been fully resolved.

If you attempted to contact our office using info@eclipselaw.org during this time, there is a possibility that we did not receive your message. To ensure that we have your inquiry and can respond promptly, we kindly ask that you re-send your email at your earliest convenience.

Recent reports indicate that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has significantly increased immigration enforcement efforts nationwide. According to information reported by multiple national news outlets, ICE arrested approximately 10,000 individuals over a five-day period at the end of June—an average of roughly 2,000 arrests per day, representing a substantial increase over previous months.

On June 25, the Supreme Court issued a ruling affecting TPS status for Haitians and Syrians. The Court held that postponement of DHS’s termination of status would not be subject to judicial review except under constitutional considerations. In this particular case, those considerations were not sufficiently strong to warrant judicial review.
