Antia-Perea v. Holder

Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Immigration
Citation
Case Number: 
Nos. 12-3641 et. al Cons.
Decision Date: 
September 25, 2014
Federal District: 
Petition for Review, Order of Bd. of Immigration Appeals
Holding: 
Petition denied
Record contained sufficient evidence to support Bd.’s removal order, even though it was based solely on documentary evidence that included Form I-213, which contained alien’s admission that he was not U.S. citizen and was citizen of Columbia. Alien did not testify at removal hearing so as to call into question statements contained in Form I-213, and finding of removal can be supported based only on documentary evidence. Also, IJ did not err in denying alien opportunity to cross-examine author of Form I-213, where alien failed to introduce evidence challenging contents or reliability of Form I-213.
