Immigration And Naturalization Service V. Abudu
''Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Abudu'', 485 U.S. 94 (1988), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court shifted the balance toward adjudications made by the INS and away from those made by the federal courts of appeals when aliens who had been ordered deported seek to present new evidence in order to avoid deportation. The Court ruled that courts must review the Board of Immigration Appeals's decision to deny motions to reopen immigration proceedings—the name of the procedural device used to present new evidence to immigration officials—for abuse of discretion. Facts Assibi Abudu first came to the United States from his native Ghana in 1965 as a student. He went to medical school, and spent the summer of 1973 in his home country.

Amicus Curiae
An amicus curiae (; ) is an individual or organization that is not a Party (law), party to a legal case, but that is permitted to assist a court by offering information, expertise, or insight that has a bearing on the issues in the case.

Withholding Of Removal
Withholding of Removal (formerly withholding of deportation) is a legal status under US immigration law, 8 USC 1231(b)(3)(A), that an undocumented immigrant can get that prevents the immigrant from being deported by the US to a country when the U.S. Attorney General decides the immigrant's life or freedom will be threatened in that country due to the immigrant's race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. The status is similar to asylum but is harder to get and much less frequent. Withholding of removal differs from asylum in that an immigrant can apply for withholding of removal more than one year after they enter the US and they can apply if they have been deported before. The applicant, however, has to show that there is a reasonable fear (i.e., more than 50% probability) that they will be harmed if sent back to their home country. For asylum, the applicant only has to show that there is a credible fear (i.e., more than 10% ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
