Reading Room Document

Deportation Proceedings of Joseph Patrick Thomas Doherty

The Attorney General reversed the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals that there was insufficient evidence that the deportation of the respondent to the Republic of Ireland would be prejudicial to the interests of the United States, and remanded the case to the BIA for further proceedings. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/24011/download.
