United States First Circuit

In a Ugandan national's petition for review a final decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which denied petitioner's motion to reopen removal proceedings, the petition is denied where there was no abuse of the BIA's broad discretion. However, even though the petitioner's argument for reopening of removal proceedings fails under the precedent established in this circuit, the administration's enforcement priorities strongly indicate that the petitioner should be a candidate for prosecutorial discretion.
