United States Eighth Circuit

Ethiopian citizen's petition for review of the BIA's denial of her motion to reopen her removal proceedings is denied over a claim that an academic article concerning the effect of torture on members of her Oromo ethnic group demonstrated changed country conditions in Ethiopia, which would support granting an out-of-time motion to reopen.
