[Consolidated]. J. Loken finds a lower court properly denied a citizen of Mexico's motion for relief under the Convention Against Torture.

J. Southwick affirms the Board of Immigration Appeals’ denial of the Ecuadoran native’s motion to reopen removal proceedings and rescind his in-absentia removal order. After entering the country without inspection, petitioner was detained, signing a form giving the address at which future notices could be sent upon his release. The address had one incorrect letter in the city, otherwise being correct. The eventual notice of hearing was returned: “ATTEMPTED, NOT KNOWN.” Not attending the hearing because of this, petitioner was ordered removed in-absentia. The board had jurisdiction to enter the order and petitioner forfeited his right to notice by failing to keep the immigration court apprised of his correct mailing address or to correct an erroneous address. Petition for review is denied.

J. Joseph grants the government agencies' and officials' motion to dismiss a lawsuit from a Mexican citizen challenging the denial of her application for employment authorization subsequent to the denial of her application for adjustment of status and her widow petition after the death of her husband, a U.S. citizen, in 2014. The Mexican citizen's complaint must be dismissed because no subject matter jurisdiction is conferred to review or decide her claim under the Administrative Procedures Act or the Declaratory Judgment Act.
Court: USDC Eastern District of Wisconsin, Judge: Joseph, Filed On: May 31, 2023, Case #: 2:22cv1535, NOS: Administrative Procedure Act/Review or Appeal of Agency Decision - Other Suits, Categories: Administrative Law, immigration, Attorney Fees

J. Graves denies the Cambodian citizen’s petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming of an immigration judge’s finding of removability for an aggravated felony conviction. A guiding case does not constitute a change in the law that triggers retroactivity analysis of the relevant law governing the receiving of stolen property. The conviction constitutes receipt of stolen property, and thus is an aggravated felony for purposes of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Court: 5th Circuit, Judge: Graves, Filed On: May 30, 2023, Case #: 21-60146, Categories: Evidence, immigration, Due Process
Per curiam, the Ninth Circuit denied a petition for panel rehearing in a case in which the panel held that federal courts lack jurisdiction to review the discretionary determination that a particular noncitizen in immigration detention posed a danger to the community and was not entitled to release on bond.

Wright grants in part six individuals' renewed motion for class certification regarding challenges to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' handling and processing of Special Immigrant Juvenile petitions. The numerosity, commonality, typicality and adequacy requirements are satisfied, therefore the class is certifiable for the tolling provisions claim. However, with respect to the missed deadline claim, the commonality requirement is not satisfied

J. Barrett finds the trial court improperly dismissed the wife’s divorce, paternity and child custody complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The parents are legal, seasonal migrant workers and Mexican citizens. The circuit court had entered an order for emergency custody on allegations that the husband had left the children alone in a hot car while he worked, intending to abscond with them. Arkansas is not the family’s legal home, though it is uncontroverted that the children have not lived in Mexico for six consecutive months for the past two years and were not living in Mexico when this case was initiated. The circuit court failed to determine if Mexico or any other state was a home state for the children. Reversed and remanded.
Court: Arkansas Court Of Appeals, Judge: Barrett, Filed On: May 24, 2023, Case #: CV-22-641, Categories: Family Law, immigration, International Law
J. Goodwin dismisses the appeal of the lawful permanent resident who was found removable as charged for having been convicted of an aggravated felony. The immigration judge found that the conviction was for an aggravated felony burglary offense but did not decide whether the respondent had been convicted of a crime of violence. The Board of Immigration Appeals concludes that the respondent has been convicted of an aggravated felony crime of violence as defined according to relevant immigration criminal law, for displaying a firearm during the robbery, and is thus removable. There is a concurring and dissenting opinion.
Court: Board of Immigration Appeals, Judge: Goodwin, Filed On: May 23, 2023, Case #: 4063, Categories: Firearms, immigration, Robbery
