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

  • holding that the IJ errone- ously discredited an alien who “confused the dates but consistently identified” details of the underlying events
  • under pre-REAL ID framework, remanding where adverse credibility determination rested on “minor discrepancies that are easily explained” and on “speculation or conjecture”
  • under pre–REAL ID framework, remanding where adverse credibil‐ ity determination rested on “minor discrepancies that are eas‐ ily explained” and on “speculation or conjecture”
  • “‘[A]dverse credibility determinations should not be grounded in . . . easily explained discrepancies’ because such bases lack the necessary ‘legitimate nexus to the finding.’”
  • whether petitioner had a “bona fide relationship” with her husband had no bearing on whether she was subjected to an involuntary abortion, and the IJ did not explain his reasoning to the contrary
