On November 5, 2019, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA or Board) issued an amicus invitation welcoming interested parties to brief whether an Immigration Judge errs in terminating proceedings when the respondent did not appear for a scheduled removal hearing after being provided notice of the hearing pursuant to the Migrant Protection Protocols. Members of the public must first submit a Request to Appear as Amicus Curiae, identifying that they are responding to Amicus Invitation No. 19-11-5. Requests to Appear and briefs needed to be filed by December 5, 2019.
