- The BIA ruled that the 10 years of continuous physical presence required by 8 CFR §1240.66(c)(2) for an individual seeking special rule cancellation of removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) should be measured from the individual’s most recently incurred ground of removal, at least where that ground is among those listed in 8 CFR §1240.66(c)(1).

BALCA held that an American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA) wage for an institution of higher education may sample only other institutions of higher education pursuant to the regulations. Accordingly, BALCA overruled the prevailing wage determination (PWD) made by the Center Director (CD) and remanded, finding that the CD’s insistence that the employer provide a survey that sampled each type of ACWIA entity constituted an abuse of discretion.

A Los Angeles Times special report examines 450 uses of Tasers, hand-held devices that deliver a paralyzing electric charge, documented by CBP agents from 2010 to 2013. The analysis found that, at least 70 times, CBP agents fired the devices at people who were running away, even though there was no struggle or clear indication that agents were in danger, according to use-of-force reports. At least six times, agents used the weapons against people who were trying to climb over the border fence back into Mexico.

The Ninth Circuit granted the petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision, which found that the petitioner was inadmissible under INA §212(a)(3)(B) for having engaged in terrorist activity. The court held that the Board erred in failing to apply the clear error standard of review to the Immigration Judge’s finding that the petitioner lacked the “intent to endanger, directly or indirectly, the safety of one or more individuals” when he participated in planning an attempted coup against the Philippine government in 1989.
