CA5, Oct. 10, 2024, MP3 recording 23-40653 10/10/2024 State of Texas v. USA Brian Boynton- Jeremy M. Feigenbaum- Joseph N. Mazzara- Nina Perales-
Rivera-Medrano v. Garland
"Karen Elizabeth Rivera-Medrano, a citizen and native of El Salvador, has petitioned for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirming the denial of her request for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3) and protection under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"), 8 C.F.R. §§ 1208.16(c)–1208.18, and denying her motion to remand this case to the immigration judge ("IJ") based on newly obtained evidence. We conclude that the BIA abused its discretion in denying her motion to remand. Accordingly, we grant the petition for review, vacate, and remand for further proceedings. ... The BIA's oversight is particularly significant here, where the credibility determination rested considerably on minor inconsistencies in what the IJ concluded was an otherwise credible presentation."
