Immigration judges' rulings under scrutiny
2006-07-09
WASHINGTON - After Islamic militants killed Seemab Shah's father, she said, they came for her. Terrified, Shah left her newborn son in the care of relatives and fled Pakistan for the United States. She beseeched a U.S. immigration judge to grant her asylum. As proof of the danger to her family, she presented the court with her father's death certificate and newspaper photos of him lying in a pool of blood. Despite the evidence, Judge Donald Ferlise concluded that Shah's father wasn't dead. Rejecting Shah's story as "totally incredible," he denied her request to remain in the United States. But Shah, 33, isn't going home anytime soon. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia concluded that Ferlise inexplicably had ignored undisputed evidence of her father's death.
