BIA Holds Bond Denial Appropriate Despite Pending Withholding Appeal in Matter of E–Y–F–G–

BIA Appeals

On Wednesday, June 11, the BIA published Matter of E–Y–F–G–, holding that a pending appeal of a grant of withholding of removal does not justify release on bond where flight risk factors weigh strongly against it. Upon de novo review, the BIA found the respondent failed to show she was not a flight risk, sustained DHS’s appeal, and ordered her detained without bond.
