Immigration suppression motion results, how individual IJs and BIA panels have analyzed the issues

The following are IJ and BIA decisions on motions to suppress and motions to terminate. In each of these cases, the respondents in removal proceedings asked the IJ to suppress or exclude the government’s evidence or otherwise terminate proceedings. These decisions are not meant to be representative of the way in which the agency is deciding these motions, but they do illustrate how individual IJs and BIA panels have analyzed the issues.
