• noting that, even if proposed particular social group were cognizable, petitioner’s claim would fail because she did not prove-her membership in that group “in the first place”
• stating that “an alien seeking to establish persecution based on the violent conduct of private actors must show more than ‘difficulty controlling’ private behavior” (citation omitted)
• rejecting claim that Colombian government was unable to control violence inflicted by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia
• finding no past persecution where petitioner was robbed at gunpoint and received threats via phone and in person
• BIA requires particular social group to be defined with particularity and not defined just by fact that its members have been targeted for persecution
