• explaining that where an asylum applicant with mental health concerns cannot provide reliable testimony, the Immigration Judge should focus on whether the applicant can meet his burden of proof based on objective evidence of record and other relevant issues
• noting that where an individual has been diagnosed with a mental illness, “the factors that would otherwise point to a lack of honesty in a witness . . . may be reflective of a mental illness or disability, rather than an attempt to deceive the [IJ]”
• further inquiry into competency was required where an alien “was confused and frequently provided nonresponsive testimony” and “laughed inappropriately during the hearing”
