The Council and NIP/NLG Provide Practice Alert on Matter of Laparra
The American Immigration Council and National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild provide a practice alert on Matter of Laparra, 28 I&N Dec. 425 (BIA 2022), in which the BIA rejected notice-based arguments for rescinding and reopening an in absentia order when the government serves the respondent with a Notice to Appear (NTA) lacking information about a hearing’s time and place as required by Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 239(a)(1).
