The BIA invited amici to submit briefs on the following question:
"Whether, and if so to what extent, Niz-Chavez v. Garland, 141 S. Ct. 1474 (2021), impacts the jurisdiction of an Immigration Court where the Notice to Appear fails to satisfy the statutory requirements of section 239(a) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a)?"

Schmidt, says the "key quote" is this: "[I]n absentia orders involving proceedings commenced through a defective NTA are rendered invalid by Niz-Chavez.
