Congrats, Beth! 😎 I appointed Beth to her supervisory attorney position at the BIA in 1995, shortly after I became Chair. Recently, her dissent in Matter of T-C-A-, 28 I&N Dec. 492 (BIA 2022) was featured in Courtside. https://immigrationcourtside.com/2022/02/26/%f0%9f%91%a9%f0%9f%8f%bb%e2%9a%96%ef%b8%8f-temporary-appellate-judge-beth-liebmann-gets-it-right%f0%9f%98%8e-but-garlands-bia-majority-steamrolls/
