How courts have described this case

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

  • concluding that a petitioner’s fear of relocation was contradicted by his family’s continued safe residence in the country of removal
  • concluding that an alien did not establish a well-founded fear where, among other things, his family continued to live in Colombia without incident
  • holding that the BIA’s findings of fact will be reversed only if the “the record compels a reversal”
  • concluding that an asylum applicant failed to show future persecution in part because his family remained in the same region of Colombia without incident
  • holding that a petitioner’s failure to cooperate with guerillas does not constitute evidence of persecution
  • concluding that petitioner’s future-persecution claim was less persuasive where the petitioner’s family remained in the country unharmed
