Motions to Reopen and Reconsider; Effect of Departure
BIA finds that it generally lacks authority to reopen final exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings where an alien seeks to pursue relief over which neither the Board nor the IJ has jurisdiction.
BIA denies respondent’s motion to reopen and further grants the DHS motion to reopen and terminate removal proceedings.
