Federal judge settles lawsuit on harms to border environment.

Posted on September 8, 2021 by sethlerner1964

A federal judge in Arizona settled a lawsuit filed against DHS and CBP, saying the agencies failed to study potential harms to the environment from increased enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border. The judge sided with the Center for Biological Diversity and AZ’s Rep. Raul Grijalva in the lawsuit they filed in 2017. Brian Segee, the center’s legal director for endangered species, said the decision is “a win for wildlife and communities along the border,” and now hopes the Biden administration will look more into what enforcement can do to protect borderland flora and fauna.

The Board of Immigration Appeals cannot simply ignore the evidence.

Posted on November 3, 2015 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

The Second Circuit reversed the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and remanded, finding that it was unable to meaningfully review the agency’s removability determination, because the BIA had failed to consider material evidence—namely, the petitioner’s 1994 marriage certificate. On remand, the BIA was instructed to evaluate the authenticity of the marriage certificate, and to articulate the standard the agency applies when assessing the credibility of an individual who testifies on matters concerning removability in a contested removal proceeding.
