Shirkhani v. Greene

Facts

The district director of the INS denied the petitioner's request for bond or supervised parole, citing a 'flight risk' due to the complexities of the case and pending deportation. The petitioner had never missed a court appearance, had substantial community ties, stable employment, and a non-violent criminal record. The court found that the district director failed to inform the petitioner of his right to appeal the bond denial to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and the ten-day time limit for such an appeal had expired before the petitioner filed his habeas action.

The record before me is devoid of any evidence that respondent informed petitioner of his right to appeal the decision to the BIA.

Issue

Whether the petitioner exhausted his administrative remedies and whether the court had jurisdiction to review the district director's decision denying bond or supervised parole.

Because appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) was not reasonably available in this case, petitioner's alleged failure to exhaust his administrative remedies does not deprive me of jurisdiction.

Rule

In a habeas corpus action challenging INS detention, the court has the authority to review for abuse of discretion even if the attorney general is proceeding with reasonable dispatch. An alien must be informed of their right to appeal a bond decision to the BIA, and failure to provide such notice can affect the availability of administrative remedies.

in an habeas corpus action challenging INS detention of an alien, I have authority to review for abuse of discretion even where the attorney general is proceeding with reasonable dispatch.

Analysis

The court applied the rule by determining that the district director's denial of bond lacked a reasonable foundation, as the petitioner had demonstrated strong ties to the community and a stable history. The court emphasized that the district director did not provide the required notice of appeal rights, which contributed to the petitioner's inability to exhaust administrative remedies. The court concluded that it had jurisdiction to review the case despite the district director's claims.

Therefore, under the circumstances, I conclude that petitioner had no administrative remedies reasonably available when he filed this action.

Conclusion

The court denied the district director's motion for reconsideration and stay of execution, ordering the immediate release of the petitioner on bond or conditional parole.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) Respondent's motion for reconsideration and stay of execution is DENIED; and, (2) Respondent shall immediately release petitioner on bond or conditional parole.

Who won?

The petitioner prevailed in the case because the court found that the district director's denial of bond was not supported by a reasonable foundation and that the petitioner had not been properly informed of his appeal rights.

The court found and concluded that there was no reasonable foundation in the record for respondent's decision denying bond or supervised parole.
