Sample of Legal Cases
The court remanded the case to the Board of immigration Appeals.
The appeal was granted so that Mr. Sesay could apply for adjustment of status
The Board of Immigration Appeals determined that West was not subject to mandatory detention because he was released from state custody prior to the expiration of the temporary custody rules.
The federal district court judge granted the petition for habeas corpus because she found that mandatory immigration detention did not apply to Mr. Waffi because ICE detained him over a month after he was released from state custody.
The Board of Immigration Appeals determined that the period of time that accrued after Blancas-Lara was admitted on a border crossing card could be counted toward the 7 years required for cancellation of removal.
