CA9 on Voluntary Departure: Zamorano v. Garland

Zamorano v. Garland

"Victor Luis Angeles Zamorano, a native and citizen of Mexico, seeks review of a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissing his appeal from a decision of the immigration judge (IJ) that denied his application for voluntary departure. Because the IJ failed to evaluate the factors weighing in favor of granting Zamorano voluntary departure, we grant the petition and remand to the BIA."

[Hats off to Joseph V. Bui (argued) and Robert A. Olson!]
