Pereira v. Sessions
SCOTUS
585 U.S. 198 (2018)
2018
Holding
A Notice to Appear that does not specify the time and place of the removal hearing is not a valid NTA under the INA and therefore does not trigger the stop-time rule under § 240A(d)(1).
Practitioner Note
Landmark Supreme Court decision. Created significant litigation over defective NTAs and stop-time rule application. Partially walked back by Niz-Chavez v. Garland (2021).
