U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Choco v. Blanche
August 27, 2026
Summary
The court denied the petition for review because the petitioners did not challenge the BIA's dispositive finding that they had waived review of the IJ's denial of relief. The court held that the petitioners had abandoned any challenge to that waiver finding, and therefore did not reach their unexhausted arguments concerning asylum, withholding of removal, or CAT relief.
