Paulina Perez v. Todd Blanche

Summary

The Eighth Circuit dismissed Paulina Sebastian‑Perez’s petition for review, holding that the court lacks jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. §1252(a)(1) to review the immigration judge’s decision denying a reasonable‑fear finding because that decision is not a final order of removal. The court relied on statutory, regulatory, and Supreme Court authority to conclude the petition was outside its appellate jurisdiction.
