How courts have described this case

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

• reiterating that persecution is an extreme concept that involves infliction or credible threat of death, torture, or injury, and excludes low-level intimidation and harassment
• finding that evidence of isolated violence against a family member cannot establish persecution sufficient for asylum because a “pattern of persecution tied to the petitioner” is required
• noting persecution “is an extreme concept” excluding low-level intimidation and harassment, and an applicant may not merely rely on reasons unsuccessfully used for past persecution claim to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution
• persecution involves infliction or credible threat of death, torture, or injury; it is an extreme concept that excludes low- level intimidation and harassment
• just as reasons were insufficient to show past persecution, they were insufficient to show well- founded fear of future persecution
• persecution “involves the infliction or credible threat of death, torture, or injury to one’s person or freedom, on account of a protected characteristic”; it is “an extreme concept that excludes low-level intimidation and harassment”
