Three former immigration judges, all with asylum denial rates mostly over 90 percent, have been appointed to the Board of Immigration Appeals. Michael P. Baird, a former immigration judge in Dallas and then the notorious Atlanta Immigration Court, had a denial rate of 91.4 percent, according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Sunita B. Mahtabfar, a former judge at the El Paso Immigration Court, had a denial rate of 98.7 percent. Sirce E. Owen, a former ICE prosecutor and “management judge” was also named to the board. The judges will now oversee appeals to immigration cases and the courts as a whole. Immigration Courtside (blog), Law 360
