U.S. Attorney General William Barr and the Board of Immigration Appeals were berated by a federal appeals court for thwarting its orders and holding up a Mexican citizen’s request to seek a special visa for immigrants who were victims of a crime in the U.S.
Barr and the board rebuffed the Chicago-based appeals court’s decision that immigration judges can waive the objectionable status of certain visa applicants with criminal convictions, a three-judge panel said on Thursday.
