[...] 10 A plaintiff invoking offensive collateral estoppel must prove that: “(1) there was a 11 full and fair opportunity to litigate the identical issue in the prior action,” “(2) the issue was 12 actually litigated in the prior action,” “(3) the issue was decided in a final judgment,” and 13 “(4) the party against whom issue preclusion is asserted was a party or in privity with a 14 party to the prio. [...] 13 III 14 MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM 15 With the foregoing rulings in mind, the Court turns to the remaining aspects of the 16 government’s Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss.

Specifically, the 25 government contends that none of the relevant immigration laws “suggest that Congress 26 intended to permit. [...] “This is sufficient for the Court’s lenient APA test: at the very least, the 15 Organizations’ interests are ‘marginally related to’ and ‘arguably within’ the scope of the 16 statute.” Id.
