EOIR BIA Decision

The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a decision in Matter of S-S-, 29 I&N Dec. 136 (BIA 2025).

The Immigration Judge erred in concluding that the respondent would more likely than not be tortured in detention in Haiti where the Immigration Judge did not find that his detention would be long term and where the record did not establish that the harsh conditions in Haitian detention were specifically intended to torture.
