BIA Suppression Decisions

                               BIA Suppression Decisions
 
In 2007, ICE teams conducted a number of warrantless raids into peoples' homes in the middle of the night in the New York City area. CALA has represented fourteen victims of these raids filing motions to terminate in their removal proceedings. Most were granted by local immigration judges; ICE appealed. We have received three very different decisions from the BIA, all reversing the IJ's decisions. We are going forward into federal court on these. The decisions are attached.

 We are happy to collaborate with other attorneys fighting the good fight on these unconstitutional practices. If you can afford to do so, please donate to help cover our costs.
