Every decision we've filed under Immigration (Civil).

The court found the petitioners failed to demonstrate past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution in Venezuela.
The Third Circuit granted the Government's motion for summary action, denying a Colombian national's petition for review of her removal order. The court affirmed the lower agencies' findings that the petitioner failed to exhaust her claims regarding a new particular social group and did not adequately challenge the legal basis for the denial of her asylum applications.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a federal lawsuit seeking financial support under an Affidavit of Support, ruling that a prior state divorce judgment precluded the claim. The court held that the federal statute does not override the preclusive effect of a final state court order that explicitly resolved all spousal support issues between the parties.
The Ninth Circuit vacated the Board of Immigration Appeals' denial of a stateless immigrant's motion to reopen removal proceedings, ruling that the agency applied an incorrect diligence standard. The court held that individuals born in the Soviet era who are deemed stateless reasonably begin challenging removal only after learning they are no longer protected from deportation.
The Eighth Circuit denied a petition for review by Salvadoran nationals seeking asylum, ruling that they waived their due process claim regarding judicial bias by failing to provide specific argument or evidence. The court further held it lacked jurisdiction to review the Department of Homeland Security's exercise of prosecutorial discretion in enforcing removal orders.
