How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- distinguishing a genuine fear based on unsupported hypotheses from evidence of a fear supported by con- crete facts showing that fear to be objectively reasonable
- stating that the reasonable person test “has both subjective and objective elements”
- “The BIA, not the IJ, wields ultimate authority over asylum decisions, subject only to the specific intervention of the Attorney General.”
- contention that group in Peru might conceivably harm petitioner after labeling him a traitor is not sufficient to establish eligibility for asylum absent concrete evidence that group had so labeled petitioner.
- final orders in deportation proceedings come from the BIA, the highest administrative tribunal, and, thus, the court of appeals reviews the findings and order of the BIA
