United States Eleventh Circuit


Li v. U.S. Attorney Gen., 06-15148

Denial of motion to reopen removal proceedings is vacated as the BIA abused its discretion when it refused to reopen petitioner's removal proceedings after she established a prima facie case of eligibility for withholding of removal, with evidence showing that the Chinese government considers foreign-born children of Chinese nationals equivalent to children born in China for purposes of the one-child policy by sterilization.
