How courts have described this case

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

• holding that Salvadoran military imputed pro- guerilla political opinion to petitioner due to his aunt and uncle’s political affiliations
• holding that we may not consider an issue that was not addressed by the BIA
• holding that death threats, in combination with the related murder of family members, rose to the level of past persecution
• noting that the “INS is required to make a complete record during the administrative proceedings.”
• holding that once a petitioner has demonstrated past persecu- tion, this supports “a presumption that the applicant has shown a clear probability of future persecution so as to entitle him to withholding of deportation”
• recognizing that persecution “of those who work for or with political figures [can] be on account of the political opinion of their employer even if the nature of their work for or with that person is not in itself political”
