Can the Attorney General construe "extreme hardship" narrowly?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Brice v. U.S. Dept. of Justice, 806 F.2d 415 (2nd Cir. 1986):
The Attorney General and his delegates have the authority to construe "extreme hardship" narrowly should they deem it wise to do so. Such a narrow interpretation is consistent with the "extreme hardship" language, which itself indicates the exceptional nature of the suspension remedy.
INS v. Wang, 450 U.S. 139, 144-45, 101 S.Ct. 1027, 1031, 67 L.Ed.2d 123 (1981).
