ANIM v. MUKASEY

Holding that the petitioner's right to a confidential asylum application under 8 CFR § 208.6 was violated during the course of an overseas investigation into her claims and that she should as a result be given a chance to present new claims based on this breach. Also holding that the IJ's consideration of a Department of State letter alleging that that the summonses issued to the petitioner by the Cameroonian police were fraudulent violated the petitioner's due process rights because the letter lacked meaningful indicia of reliability.
