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

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit dismissed a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order. The court found the petition was filed more than thirty days after the agency decision, rendering it untimely.
The Ninth Circuit denied Longcai Chen's petition for review, upholding the Board of Immigration Appeals' adverse credibility determination regarding his asylum claims.

The Fifth Circuit vacated a preliminary injunction against Texas's Senate Bill 4, ruling that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the law.

The Ninth Circuit denied Lorena Vazquez-Trujillo's petition for review of her asylum and withholding of removal claims, ruling that her proposed social group lacks the required legal particularity.

The Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision that found a non-citizen ineligible for cancellation of removal due to violating a protection order. The court held that the categorical approach does not apply to such violations and affirmed that a police report reliably established the offense.
The Ninth Circuit denied Jose Penado's petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision, upholding the denial of his asylum and withholding of removal claims.

The Ninth Circuit denied Okky Ficrada Jaya's petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' dismissal of his motion for administrative closure.

The Ninth Circuit denied Anthony Duran's petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order denying his claims for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. The court affirmed that Duran's conviction for shooting at an occupied vehicle constituted a particularly serious crime and found substantial evidence supported the denial of his other relief requests.
