Sunday Egahi v. Pamela Bondi:Date Argued: January 28th, 2026; Docket Number: 23-1974

Case Summary:Sunday Egahi v. Pamela Bondi is a civil immigration-related appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, docket number 23‑1974, in which plaintiff‑appellant Sunday Egahi challenges the district court’s dismissal of his suit against Attorney General Pamela Bondi, with oral argument held on January 28, 2026.At the lower‑court level in the District of Maryland, Egahi brought a civil action under federal statutes and the Administrative Procedure Act challenging government action connected to his immigration case, specifically involving procedures related to an I‑360 VAWA self‑petition. The case was assigned to Judge Lydia Griggsby, and the District of Maryland ultimately dismissed the action for lack of subject‑matter jurisdiction, concluding that the court could not hear Egahi’s claims under the jurisdiction‑stripping and review‑limiting provisions governing such immigration and procedural challenges.Egahi then appealed to the present court, the Fourth Circuit, arguing that the district court erred in finding it lacked jurisdiction to consider his statutory and APA‑based challenges to the handling of his I‑360 VAWA self‑petition and related relief, and the Fourth Circuit heard oral argument in that appeal on January 28, 2026.
