Attorney General, a man who had entered the United States\u00a0illegally was denied the ability to corroborate his credible testimony that he\u00a0feared for his life after deportation, and his withholding of removal from the\u00a0United States was denied by an Immigration Judge.1 Though his testimony\u00a0was credible, the judge found in part that he had not provided corroborating\u00a0testimony that would further prove his claim.2 By denying his application on\u00a0the grounds of failure to corroborate his testimony, the Immigration Judge\u00a0ignored possible implications of due process and decreased the feasibility of\u00a0judicial review by limiting the applicant\u2019s evidence on the record. On appeal,\u00a0the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held that requiring Saravia to\u00a0\u201cprovide further corroboration without telling him so and giving him the op-portunity either to supply that evidence or to explain why it was not available\u201d\u00a0would render their review \u201cnot meaningful.\u201d3<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/immigration-law-journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/01\/GT-GILJ190047.pdf\">Continue Reading No Notice, No Problem?
