Appellate Litigation Clinic granted motion by Board of Immigration Appeals
Abstract
The Appellate Litigation Clinic recently obtained a remand in the case Naranjo Garcia v. Barr. The clinic team has worked on this case since 2019 and, after winning in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in February, the case was sent back to the Board of Immigration Appeals. In this jurisdiction, the clinic filed a motion to remand to the Immigration Judge for further factfinding on whether the client is eligible for asylum and withholding of removal. The motion was granted, allowing the client to present new evidence on whether her particular social groups are cognizable and on whether her home country is unable or unwilling to control the cartels that targeted her and her family.
