CA6 on Guatemala, Nexus: Mazariegos-Rodas v. Garland

December 09, 2024 (1 min read)

Mazariegos-Rodas v. Garland

"The Petitioners’ arguments regarding due-process and the “Guatemalan female children without parental protection” PSG were not raised before the BIA and are thus unreviewable, but the BIA’s no-nexus determination with regard to “the Rodas family” PSG is inconsistent with this court’s precedents. We therefore GRANT the petition for review in part, DISMISS it in part, VACATE the BIA’s denial of the Petitioners’ application for asylum and withholding of removal, and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this opinion."

[Hats off to Elinor Ruby Jordan, Polina Emilova Hristova and Ana Raquel Devereaux!  Listen to the oral argument here.]
