The latest BS from the Dept of “Justice” today: The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a decision in the Matter of R-C-R, 28 I&N Dec. 74 (BIA 2020). justice.gov/eoir/page/file…
Short version: unrepresented asylum seeker is detained and in a preliminary hearing by video is ordered to submit asylum application on a date prior to the next preliminary hearing, in English. When the app isn’t filed on time, IJ orders removal before next hrg.
This order gave no opp for explanation of why the app couldn’t be completed or for a request for an extension to complete it. There are many reasons people have trouble filling out these applications: some people can’t read or write, many don’t speak, read, or write in English.
