The National Network to End Violence Against Immigrant Women filed an amicus brief in support of Appellant Josefa Rosario, who was wrongfully denied VAWA Cancellation of Removal. The IJ denied cancellation because there was not substantial evidence of battery and not substantial evidence of extreme hardship. The BIA affirmed the IJ. The decision was wrong because the IJ ignored an analysis of extreme cruelty completely and even though Ms. Rosario and her witness were found to be credible (May 10, 2010).
