Bojnoordi v. Holder

Title 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1182(a)(3)(B), barring certain aliens from obtaining asylum or withholding of removal based on their involvement with terrorist groups, applied retroactively to petitioner’s material support of a Tier III organization, even though his activities with the group were before it was officially designated as a terrorist group.

Substantial evidence supported BIA’s determination that Iran’s Mojahedin-e Khalq was a terrorist organization in the 1970s when petitioner was involved in it. Petitioner was subject to the statutory bar because there was substantial evidence that he provided material support to MEK during the 1970s, and he failed to show by clear and convincing evidence that he did not know, or should not reasonably have known, that MEK was a terrorist organization during that time frame.
