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 Board had substantial evidence to reject a former Algerian police officer’s claim for asylum based on a fear of future persecution
• concluding that vague threats, without details, did not compel finding of past persecution
• finding of no persecution supported by substantial evidence where alien sequestered himself in desert and thus never suffered physical harm or the threat thereof
• sustaining an order removing to Algeria a former security officer who contended that he would be targeted by rebels
• alien must “present specific, detailed facts showing a good reason to fear that he or she will be singled out for persecution”
• former Algerian police officer’s vague testimony about death threats to his brother did not compel finding that he had well-founded fear of persecution
