05-4232, 05-5411, 06-3160 Yusupov v. Atty. Gen. of the U.S.
Before: McKEE and AMBRO, Circuit Judges ACKERMAN,1 District Judge
AMBRO, Circuit Judge: An alien unlawfully in this country may have his removal blocked under certain circumstances. One is withholding of removal under Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) § 241(b)(3)(A), 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(A), which prohibits removal if the Attorney General believes that the alien’s life or freedom would be threatened in the country of removal. Eligibility for withholding of removal is erased, however, if “there are reasonable grounds to believe that the alien is a danger to the security of the United States.” INA § 241(b)(3)(B)(iv), 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(B)(iv). In this case we consider the Attorney General’s interpretation of that exception (commonly referred to as the national security exception). … Yusupov v. Atty. Gen. of the U.S.
- Honorable Harold A. Ackerman, Senior United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey, sitting by designation. [↩]
