EOIR BIA Decision

The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a decision in Matter of E-Z-, 29 I&N Dec. 123 (BIA 2025).

The Immigration Judge’s predictive findings regarding the harm the respondent will suffer in Russia based on his travel to the United States and his support for Ukraine were speculative, and thus the Immigration Judge erred in granting the respondent’s application for protection under the regulations implementing the Convention Against Torture.
