Santoso v. Holder

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that evidence of localized religious violence was insufficient to show a pattern or practice of persecution, particularly in a large country like Indonesia
• holding that where the agency’s determination that an individual did not establish a pattern or practice of persecution is supported by background materials, the agency has provided a “sufficient basis” for its conclusion
• holding 19 that the agency’s finding of no pattern or practice is sound 20 where it is sufficiently supported by the background 21 materials
• concluding there was no error in agency’s pattern or practice finding where the agency considered country-conditions evidence and that evidence did not show systemic and pervasive persecution
• noting that the BIA need not “expressly parse or refute on the record each individual argument or piece of evidence offered by the petitioner” (internal quotation marks and citations omitted)
• denying petition where agency considered background materials and rejected pattern or practice claim because violence was not countrywide
