[05/13]
Ukpabi v. Mukasey
Denial of a motion for a continuance in a removal proceeding is affirmed where: 1) there was no evidence that an IJ abused her discretion in denying the motion; 2) there was no violation of international law; and 3) there is no due process right to a continuance while a pending visa petition is fully adjudicated.
[05/06]
Silaya v. Mukasey
Petition for review of a denial of an application for asylum and related relief brought by a native of the Philippines is granted with respect to the asylum claim where: 1) the rape and physical abuse inflicted on petitioner supported a finding of past persecution under 8 U.S.C. section 1101(a)(42)(A); and 2) the record compelled a finding that petitioner was subjected to past persecution on account of imputed political opinion.
[05/06]
Zoarab v. Mukasey
Petition for review of a denial of asylum and related relief is denied where there was little in the record to suggest that petitioner's comments about a soured business deal with a prince amounted to political speech, for purposes of a claim that he was entitled to asylum in light of the circumstances of the monarchical government in the United Arab Emirates, where any expression against the integrity of a royal family member is said to constitute political expression.
