• recognizing that a showing of nexus is required for eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal
• holding that the particular social group of “Honduran women unable to leave their relationship” was “impermissibly defined in a circular manner”
• holding that a proposed group of “Honduran women unable to leave their relationship” was not cognizable because it was “defined by, and d[id] not exist independently of, the harm—i.e., the inability to leave”
• holding PSG of “Honduran women unable to leave their relationship” lacks particularity and fails to exist independently of harm asserted
• noting that to qualify for both asylum and withholding of removal, persecution must be based on a protected ground, such as membership in a PSG
• holding in the alternative that remand would be futile because the alien could not prevail under the legal standard
