Court Finds BIA Erred in Denying Chinese Christian Petitioner’s Motion to Reopen Based on Changed Country Conditions

Posted on October 3, 2017 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney
The Tenth Circuit granted the petition for review and remanded, holding that a significant increase in the level of persecution constitutes a material change in country conditions for purposes of INA §240(c)(7)(C). The court found that the BIA abused its discretion by denying on factually erroneous, legally frivolous, and logically unsound grounds the petitioner’s motion to reopen based on the significantly increased persecution of Christians in China in 2014 and 2015.
