Dominguez Ojeda v. Garland
"The only question before us is whether the IJ committed legal error by failing to exercise discretion and, instead, automatically refusing to consider Dominguez Ojeda’s new evidence of rape and country conditions on the erroneous belief that he lacked the discretion to consider it.

We thus grant the petition and remand."
