CODIAS LAW
Advocacy
We don’t just practice law—we actively shape it and fight back against a system that forgot who it serves.
Current Initiatives
The executive branch has authority to implement critical antifraud reforms right now under existing law.
DHS
Direct Harm to Citizens
The Direct Harm to Citizens (DHC) framework would require DHS officers to treat direct harm inflicted on a U.S. citizen by a foreign national as a significant negative factor in discretionary immigration decisions.
DOJ
BIA Fraud Appeals
The Board of Immigration Appeals should issue formal guidance establishing procedures for U.S. citizens to appeal approved I-130 petitions based on newly discovered evidence of marriage fraud.

We exposed the immigration fraud crisis.
In June 2025, Managing Attorney Cody M. Brown testified before Congress, unveiling original data that exposed the scale, scope, and human cost of the immigration fraud crisis on the national stage.
