Aguilar-Solis v. Immigration & Naturalization Service

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the Salvadoran peace accords constituted changed country conditions supporting the agency’s finding that the petitioner’s fear of the FMLN was not objectively reasonable
• explaining that there must be a nexus between the alleged acts of persecution and the statutorily protected ground
• noting that a showing of persecution requires more than proof of “harassment or annoyance”
• explaining that record evidence must \compel a reasonable factfinder to make a contrary determination\
• noting that “the transcript reflects nothing more sinister than a modicum of impatience” and that such “is not the stuff from which a due process violation can be fashioned”
• finding plausible the IJ’s suggestion that, given petitioner’s substantial land holdings, threats could have represented attempts by guerillas to garner financial support for their movement
