CA10 on Cancellation: Real-Mendoza v. Barr

Real-Mendoza v. Barr

"[T]he Board erred in deeming Mr. Real-Mendoza ineligible for cancellation of removal based on the stop-time rule. Mr. Real-Mendoza had resided continuously in the United States for at least ten years, so the agency shouldn’t have deemed him ineligible based on a lack of continuous residence. We thus grant the petition in error and remand to the Board with instructions to reconsider Mr. Real-Mendoza’s motion to remand."
