EOIR BIA Decision

The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a decision in Matter of E-A-S-O-, 29 I&N Dec. 422 (BIA 2026).

The Matter of N-A-M-, 24 I&N Dec. 336 (BIA 2007), framework is the proper rubric for determining whether a crime is particularly serious and there is no presumption that a single misdemeanor conviction is not for a particularly serious crime. Matter of Juarez, 19 I&N Dec. 664 (BIA 1988), overruled.
