Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Abudu
Case Date: 05/06/1988
|
A case in the United States Supreme Court, Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Assibi Abudu, 485 U.S. 94 (1988), shifted the balance toward adjudications made by the INS and away from those made by the federal courts of appeals when aliens who had been ordered deported seek to present new evidence in order to avoid deportation. The court ruled that courts must review the Board of Immigration Appeals's decision to deny motions to reopen immigration proceedings—the name of the procedural device used to present new evidence to immigration officials—for abuse of discretion.
