Unpub. BIA CAT / Mental Competency Remand (Ethiopia/Eritrea)

Stephen Yale-Loehr writes: "Our Cornell immigration appeals clinic just won an unpublished remand from the BIA in an interesting Ethiopian/Eritrean CAT case.  The case largely concerned Matter of M-A-M- mental competency issues.  The BIA also ordered the IJ to conduct additional fact-finding on remand concerning our client's country of citizenship and CAT eligibility.  [Linked here are] the redacted BIA decision and a case summary prepared by the two students who worked on the case."
