A-C-A-A

Syllabus

(1) Matter of A-C-A-A-, 28 I&N Dec. 84 (A.G. 2020) (\A-C-A-A- I\), is vacated in its entirety. Immigration judges and the Board should no longer follow A-C-A-A- I in pending or future cases and should conduct proceedings consistent with this opinion and the opinions in Matter of L-E-A-‍, 28 I&N Dec. 304 (A.G. 2021) (\L‑E‑A‑ III\), and Matter of A-B-, 28 I&N Dec. 307 (A.G. 2021) (\A‑B- III\). (2) The Board's longstanding review practices that A-C-A-A- I apparently prohibited, including its case-by-case discretion to rely on immigration court stipulations, are restored.
