Hall v. United States

Facts:

After an asylum officer denied petitioner stowaway's application for asylum, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissed his appeal upon a de novo review of the record. The stowaway filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus claiming that he had a statutory and constitutional right to an adversarial hearing before an immigration judge, and that the decision of the BIA was against the substantial evidence in the record.
