On Friday, September 19, 2025, the Board of Immigration Appeals granted a petition for the immediate suspension of attorney Tyler James Boyd from practicing law before the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Immigration Courts, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Tyler James Boyd.”
The disciplinary action follows Boyd’s suspension from the practice of law in Michigan, which was handed down by the Attorney Discipline Board for the State of Michigan, Keny County, Hearing Panel 3, on June 5, 2019. The Michigan suspension, effective May 31, 2019, was for a period of 180 days.
The petition for immediate suspension before the Board of Immigration Appeals was jointly filed by the Disciplinary Counsel for the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) and the Disciplinary Counsel for DHS. The Disciplinary Counsels cited Boyd’s ongoing suspension in Michigan as the basis for their petition.
The Board’s decision to grant the petition is based on 8 C.F.R. §§ 1003.103(a)(1) and (4), which outline the grounds for immediate suspension.
The order mandates that Boyd must inform all clients with pending cases before the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Immigration Courts, or DHS about his suspension. He is also required to maintain records demonstrating his compliance with this notification order.
The Board of Immigration Appeals has the authority to set aside the order of immediate suspension if good cause is demonstrated and it is deemed in the interest of justice. The notice of suspension will be made available to the public, including at Immigration Courts and DHS offices.
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Boyd is an attorney in Jenison, Michigan.
