How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that applicant's daughter's hypothyroidism may constitute a serious medical condition but does not constitute an \exceptional and extremely unusual hardship\ because she could still receive medical care in Guatemala
  • holding that “to the extent that a claim is based on the health of a qualifying relative, an applicant needs to establish that the relative has a serious medical condition”
  • explaining that “generalized evidence of violence and crime” is insufficient to establish eligibility for CAT protection
  • observing that the hardship standard “is based on a cumulative consideration of all hardship factors”
  • holding that, where a claim is based on a qualifying child’s health and the child will accompany the applicant to the country of removal, the applicant must show that adequate medical care for a serious condition is not reasonably available in that country
  • finding that even though the qualifying relative may suffer from a serious medical condition, the respondent did not demonstrate that adequate medical treatment was not reasonably available
