[I]t is not only rational but also realistic and efficient for USCIS to rely on the records of the Immigration Court when calculating how many days have run on an applicant’s asylum clock… . This system is efficient; it prevents the duplication of work; and it decreases the risk of inconsistent calculations.

The credibility of the applicant is of extreme importance in assessing the alien’s claim. I have taken into account the lack of rationality, the lack of internal consistency and the lack of inherent persuasiveness in her testimony, and have determined that this alien is not credible.

from Judge Donald Vincent Ferlise’s 1995 decision denying applicant Fauziya Kassindja asylum.

One year later, Ms. Kassindja was granted asylum by the BIA.

Eleven years after his decision—after making #19 on the list for asylum application denials—Judge Ferlise was removed from the Philadelphia-area Immigration Court calendar. 

TODAY IS WORLD REFUGEE DAY.  PASS ON THE KNOWLEDGE.

A rational system of law would seem to require consistent treatment of such identical claims, or, at the very least, an explanation from the BIA for their seemingly inconsistent treatment.

What makes this inquest significant is that these prisoners represent sinister influences that will lurk in the world long after their bodies have returned to dust. They are living symbols of racial hatreds, of terrorism and violence, and of the arrogance and cruelty of power.
