CA7 on Due Process, Evidence, Witness Cross-Examination: Karroumeh v. Lynch

May 02, 2016 (1 min read)

Karroumeh v. Lynch, Apr. 29, 2016- "Mohsen Karroumeh petitions for review of a final order of removal issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA” or “Board”). The Board determined that Karroumeh was removable because he entered into a sham marriage for immigration purposes. We conclude that Karroumeh is entitled to a new hearing before an immigration judge (“IJ”) because he was prejudiced by his inability to cross-examine a key government witness whose evidence was presented through a written statement. We grant the petition and remand for a new hearing." [Hats off to Erin Cobb!]
