Case History
THIERNO DIALLO v. U.S. ATTY. GEN. (11th Cir. 2010)
Practice Area: Immigration Law
Description: BIA denied asylum to client who barely escaped being killed from a jail in Guinea due to his political activities because the BIA said he was not harmed enough to constitute persecution.
Outcome: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit reversed the BIA and Immigration Judge stating that a person should not wait around to be injured or killed by the government of their country to establish past persecution. Case is on foglelaw.com website.
TAN v. U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, 446 F.3d 1369 (11th Cir. 2006)
Practice Area: Immigration Law
Description: Client was attacked and sexually assaulted due to her ethnicity in Indonesia. BIA said this was not persecution.
Outcome: Eleventh Circuit reversed the BIA saying that such harm to our client if in part on account of her ethnicity did constitute persecution. Case is on foglelaw.com website.
CONTRERAS-RODRIGUEZ V. U.S. ATTY. GEN. 462 F.3d 1314 (CA11,2006)
Practice Area: Immigration Law
Description: BIA denied motion to reopen for client who did not receive notice of his immigration court hearing because ICE had already deported him.
Outcome: Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the BIA stating that a motion to reopen for no service can be filed at any time, no matter whether the person has been deported or not.
MADU v. U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, 470 F.3d 1362 (11th Cir. 2006)
Practice Area: Immigration Law
Description: DHS had arrested our client and was trying to deport him under a false pretense of a deportation order that did not exist. We filed a habeas corpus suit in U.S. District Court but the Judge transferred it to the Court of Appeals under a new law when it should not have.
Outcome: The Court of Appeals reversed the District Court and said that the issue of whether there was a deportation order was a factual issue for a U.S. District Court to consider under a habeas corpus action and should not have transferred it to the Court of Appeals. Case is on foglelaw.com website.
MONTANO CISNEROS v. U.S. ATTY GEN.,514 F.3d 1224 (11th Cir. 2008
Practice Area: Immigration Law
Description: Immigration Judge and BIA had denied motion to reopen by client who had been ordered deported for not showing up because their attorney, who was not really an attorney, told them that they did not need to go to court any more. The person who posed as an attorney was later revealed as a fraud and disappeared after he had defrauded hundreds of people. However the Immigration Judge basically said "Too bad..."
Outcome: The Court of Appeals reversed the Immigration Judge and the BIA stating that a person who relied upon a non-attorney posing as an attorney who defrauded them should not be faulted for the bad advise given to them and should have the right to have their case reopened and considered. Case is on foglelaw.com website.
