Bystron v. Garland
Petition for certiorari denied on April 15, 2024
Issues: (1) Whether 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D) bars review of an asserted question of law where a noncitizen has challenged the Board of Immigration Appeals' interpretation of the statutory extreme hardship standard found at 8 U.S.C. § 1182(h)(1)(B); and (2) whether the Board's statutory interpretation regarding hardship eligibility falls within the exercise of its inherent discretionary authority, or is a nondiscretionary action that precedes its ability to exercise discretion.
