Ali v. Mukasey
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided June 19, 2008No. 06-1469-agPublishedCited by 155 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
CALABRESI, Circuit Judge:
Petitioner Peter Conrad Ali, a forty-two-year old Guyanese native and citizen, petitions for review of an order of the BIA affirming IJ Vomacka’s decision to terminate his grant of deferral of removal under the CAT. In light of the inappropriate remarks made by IJ Vomacka- — which included gratuitous comments on the petitioner’s sexuality, as well as unfounded speculations about homosexuals in general — we believe the appropriate course is to grant the petition for review, vacate the BIA’s decision, and remand this case for a rehearing before a new IJ.
