How courts have described this case

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

holding that a group based on being young, female, from a minority religion, and living alone in Albania was a cognizable social group
explaining that the inconsistent descriptions of a noncitizen’s PSG did not “upset the claim” because “in one form or another, both [the noncitizen] and the immigration judge articulated the parameters of the relevant social group”
explaining a past experience can “impart[] some knowledge or labeling that cannot be undone”
adopting Acosta's formulation of a particular social group as being \defined by a characteristic that is either immutable or is so fundamental to individual identity or conscience that a person ought not be required to change\
