Garland v. Ming Dai, 593 U.S. ___ (2021), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the Ninth Circuit violated the Immigration and Nationality Act with its rule that a reviewing court "must treat a noncitizen's testimony as credible and true absent an explicit adverse credibility determination."[1] When an immigration court rejects a noncitizen's testimony, the Act requires reviewing courts to uphold that rejection if there is any contrary evidence which a reasonable factfinder could have found sufficient to justify the rejection. As long as the rejection was not completely arbitrary, the rejection must stand.[2]
