How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reopening justified where alien’s affidavit alleged new facts—that she had converted to the Jehovah’s Witness religion after her hearing and that the Eritrean government had a pattern and practice of persecuting that group
• remanding because BIA refused to reopen proceedings based on applicant’s post-proceeding conversion to a Jehovah’s Witness when applicant provided affidavit testifying to her conversion, and BIA did not explain why it found her evidence of conversion insufficient
