How courts have described this case

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

  • concluding that the respondent did not satisfy his burden because he testified that if he had reported incidents, the perpetrators “would go to jail”
  • holding that because petitioner's asylum-based challenge failed on ground that petitioner could not show that government was unwilling or unable to protect him, petitioner's withholding-of-removal-based challenge also necessarily failed
  • concluding that \[petitioner's] application for protection under the CAT . . . fails for substantially the same reason as do his challenges to the denials of his request for asylum and withholding of removal\
  • noting that the \burden of showing the requisite government . . . inaction\ falls on the asylum applicant
  • explaining that \we may fairly deem [undeveloped] claim[s] abandoned\ or waived
  • explaining that a non-citizen \who has suffered past persecution is presumed to have a well-founded fear of persecution and thus to be entitled to a grant of asylum\ (citing Chen v. Lynch, 814 F.3d 40, 45 (1st Cir. 2016))
