How courts have described this case

• holding that the Court could review Khalili’s unexhausted argument where “the BIA sua sponte raised and ruled on the merits of Khalili’s claim”
• holding that the Sixth Circuit has jurisdiction over claims that were not properly raised to the BIA, but where the BIA nonetheless reached their merits
• noting that, when the BIA issues a separate written decision, this court only reviews an IJ’s opinion to the extent the BIA has adopted it
• relying on the fact that \police have placed potential victims in protective custody\ to hold that the Jordanian government was not unwilling or unable to protect petitioner

• defining persecution as the infliction of harm to overcome a characteristic of the victim
