Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An alien must be provided written notice of a removal proceeding in person or, if personal service is not practicable, through service by mail to the alien or the alien’s counsel of record. 8 U.S.C. § 1229 (a)(1). The notice must contain certain required elements, including the nature of the proceedings, the conduct alleged to be in violation of the law, and the date, time, and location of the proceedings. Id. § 1229(a)(l)(A)-(G). If an alien is provided proper written notice of a removal proceeding and still fails to attend, the IJ must enter an in absentia order of removal if the agency establishes “by clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence that the written notice was so provided and that the alien is removable [as further defined].” Id. § 1229a(b)(5)(A). An in absentia order so entered may be rescinded only if the alien moves to reopen the case and demonstrates th[at] he or she either did not receive notice of the removal hearing or failed to appear because of exceptional circumstances. Id. § 1229a(b)(5)(C).... Review of an in absentia order is confined to (i) the validity of the notice provided to the alien; (ii) the reasons for the alien’s not attending the proceeding, and (iii) whether the alien is removable. Id. § 1229a(b)(5)(D).”
