How courts have described this case

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

concluding that the respondent did not satisfy his burden because he testified that if he had reported incidents, the perpetrators “would go to jail”
holding that because petitioner's asylum-based challenge failed on ground that petitioner could not show that government was unwilling or unable to protect him, petitioner's withholding-of-removal-based challenge also necessarily failed
concluding that \[petitioner's] application for protection under the CAT . . . fails for substantially the same reason as do his challenges to the denials of his request for asylum and withholding of removal\
noting that the \burden of showing the requisite government . . . inaction\ falls on the asylum applicant
explaining that \we may fairly deem [undeveloped] claim[s] abandoned\ or waived
explaining that a non-citizen \who has suffered past persecution is presumed to have a well-founded fear of persecution and thus to be entitled to a grant of asylum\ (citing Chen v. Lynch, 814 F.3d 40, 45 (1st Cir. 2016))
