Louis v. United States

Facts:

            Petitioner immigrant appealed the decision of the respondent immigration officials, which denied the immigrant's motion to reconsider an adverse ruling on his application for asylum and the withholding of deportation. The immigrant sought asylum in the United States on account of China's one family-one child policy. The court held that the immigrant's motion was a motion to reopen, and not for reconsideration. As to the merits of the claims, it was an abuse of discretion to deny the immigrant's motion. The officials' claims regarding the immigrant's credibility rang hollow. Specifically, since the immigrant stated at his exclusion hearing that his wife underwent sterilization, the registration card for the family planning policy showed the same, and the language used by the Board of Immigration implied it was willing to accept such a finding on the part of the immigration judge, logic would have dictated that the immigrant was truthful in some aspects of his testimony. As to the officials' claim that there was no proof that the immigrant's wife's sterilization was coerced, such arguments were not raised before the Board. Finally, the officials' ruling was inconsistent with previous rulings, which held that if the Board found that an immigrant, or his wife, had been sterilized by force, such a finding would have established that the immigrant had been persecuted on account of political opinion.
