BIA Solicits Amicus Briefs on Duress Exception to the Persecutor Bar
The BIA invites interested members of the public to file amicus curiae briefs on whether an involuntariness or duress exception exists to limit the application of the persecutor bar in sections 208(b)(2)(A)(i) and 241(b)(3)(B)(i) of the INA, and, if so, what the standards ought to be to determine if an asylum application qualifies for such an exception. Briefs are due by 9/7/16.
