How courts have described this case

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

• holding that petitioner did not have a well-founded fear of future persecution because she relocated to another city, incident-free, for nearly one year
• holding that substantial evidence supported the agency’s finding of no nexus when “affirmative evidence” supported an alternative explanation
• holding that rape by guerillas dur- ing period of civil strife was not persecution for political opinion absent evidence that attackers knew the identity of the victim and imputed a polit- ical opinion to her
• holding that where “the unrebutted evidence [was] that [petitioner] and her family not only could, but did, relocate successfully within” their country, the IJ permissibly relied on the petitioner’s successful relocation as a ground for denying asylum
• upholding agency determination that petitioner failed to establish she was victimized because guerillas imputed a political opinion to her
• finding no nexus where there was no evidence that the rapists knew petitioners were members of the purportedly targeted family
