Lopez-Castro v. Holder

How courts have described this case

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

• rejecting claim for withholding of removal where petitioner failed to link feared gang violence with Guatemalan government
• finding no future persecution where evidence asserted in support of past persecution did \not equate with persecution\
• rejecting argument that petitioner \would be exposed to an increased risk of future attacks by gang members in Guatemala because he [would] be perceived as wealthy\
• \A country-wide risk of victimization through economic terrorism is not the functional equivalent of a statutorily protected ground . . . .\
• “[Although crime is an unpleasant consequence of life in many modern societies, victimization by a criminal element, without more, is not probative of ethnic persecution.”
• \This brings us to the particular relief sought in the instant case: withholding of removal.\
