Our client, a citizen of Nigeria, was a permanent resident and was convicted of offenses that the government believed made him removable from the U.S. Attorney Furqan challenged the client’s removal from the U.S., but after hearing arguments from both sides, the immigration judge still ordered the client removed. Attorney Furqan appealed the immigration judge’s decision and the Board of Immigration Appeals reversed the immigration judge’s decision and sent it back to the lower court for reconsideration. Meanwhile, the DHS attorney agreed to terminate the client’s case, in light of the new 5th Circuit case law regarding assault.
