Mengstu v. Holder

How courts have described this case

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

• finding a nexus between a protected ground and Ethiopia’s deportation and denationalization of Eritreans because Ethiopia targeted Eritreans during an “ethnically tinged” civil war
• rejecting finding that Ethiopian firmly resettled in Sudan in part because “[t]he IJ himself designated Ethiopia, rather than the Sudan, as the country of removal.”
• noting that the government did not meet its burden “to offer proof of permanent residence, or, in its absence, to make an offer of proof that such evidence was unobtainable,” and thus there was no presumption of resettlement for the petitioner to rebut
