In it, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) ruled that a judge could pretermit an asylum application if the judge believed the respondent did not present a prima facie claim for relief. In other words, if an asylum seeker was unable to convince a judge they had an asylum claim on their face, the judge could deny it without an opportunity for appeal or trial.
