United States First Circuit

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) properly dismissed petitioner's appeal of an Immigration Judge's denial of his request to reopen removal proceedings, where the BIA correctly ruled that a grant of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) by the Department of Homeland Security only served to prevent execution of the removal order in any event; it did not affect the validity of the order.
