OUTCOME: Petition for Review Granted
In a petition for review of an order of the BIA dismissing petitioners' application for relief under the CAT and motion to reopen, petition is granted with order vacated where: 1) the BIA's adverse cre ... dibility determination is not supported by substantial evidence; 2) the BIA abused its discretion in denying the motion to reopen; and 3) where petitioners' due process rights were violated when the Immigration Judge completely took over the cross-examination for government's counsel, and thereby ceased functioning as a neutral arbiter.
