U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit

Ayman Mohamady-Abdelghaffar v. Attorney General United States of America

August 24, 2026

Summary

The Court of Appeals denied Mohamady-Abdelghaffar’s petition for review, holding that the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying his motions to remand and administratively close his removal proceedings. The court held that DHS’s failure to respond did not affirmatively indicate non-opposition and that the BIA reasonably concluded that the totality of the circumstances did not favor closure. No separate opinions were filed.
