Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
Liberian national's petition for review of BIA's denial of her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and other relief is granted and the case remanded to the BIA as it failed to consider many if not most of the atrocities to which petitioner was subjected, such as her testimony that she will be killed if she is returned to Liberia and the documentary evidence in the case.
