Mehla v. Department of Homeland Security

Facts

Mukesh Mehla, a citizen of India, entered the United States without inspection and was placed in expedited removal proceedings after expressing a fear of returning to India due to his conversion from Hinduism to Christianity. An asylum officer found him credible but determined he did not have a credible fear of persecution. This decision was affirmed by an immigration judge, leading Mehla to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the removal order and the procedures followed.
