Text: 32 In petitioning this Court to review the Board's decision, Maikovskis challenges the BIA's findings of deportability under both Sec. 241(a)(1) and Sec. 241(a)(19). He contends that in finding deportability under Sec. 241(a)(1) the BIA used an incorrect standard to assess the materiality of the misrepresentations in his visa application and that, in any event, those misrepresentations were not material. As to the Sec. 241(a)(19) charge, he contends (1) that he was given inadequate notice that the Audrini incident would be relied on as a basis for that charge, and that he was therefore deprived of an opportunity to litigate the issue of whether the Audrini incident was motivated by one of the factors listed in Sec. 241(a)(19), and (2) that the finding of deportability under Sec. 241(a)(19) was erroneous because it was not demonstrated that the Audrini arrests and burning occurred because of the villagers' political opinion.
