Birhan Tewabe v. Alberto R. Gonzales, Attorney General

How courts have described this case

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

• faulting the IJ for giving “no cogent explanation based on common sense, the record, or any other relevant factor for disbelieving [the petitioner]”
• rejecting an immigration judge’s adverse credibility determination that was based on the early filing of a witness’s application for asylum
• “The IJ here attached the bare label ‘implausible’ to Tewabe’s testimony without providing specific and cogent reasons for doing so. This unexplained characterization is unsustainable because Tewabe’s testimony is not inherently implausible.”
