How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that remand of similar claim would be futile where “the record reflects that the government was responsive to [petitioner’s] fears when apprised of them”
  • holding that the group “Honduran women unable to leave their relationships” was not “sufficiently particularized”
  • holding that a PSG’s “immutable characteristics must make the group sufficiently particularized and socially distinct without reference to the very persecution from which its members flee”
  • holding that a PSG “must exist independent of the persecution claimed”
  • concluding that a remand was “inappropriate because it would be futile”
  • holding PSG consisting of “Honduran women who are unable to leave their domestic relationships” lacks particularity and social distinction and is inherently circular
