Madrid-Mancia v. Atty. Gen.
"This case returns to us for reconsideration in light of Campos-Chaves v. Garland, 144 S. Ct. 1637 (2024), so we again address Edin Donelsy Madrid-Mancia’s petition for review of the denial of her motion to reopen proceedings and to rescind the Immigration Judge’s in absentia removal order. Because the Board of Immigration Appeals erred in failing to weigh Madrid-Mancia’s evidence of non-receipt and was laboring at the time under the mistaken belief that Madrid-Mancia had failed in her obligations under 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(B), we will grant the petition."
