   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-1285
   Agency   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken. Author, with Riley and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Immigration Judge's findings that 
   petitioner had failed to establish either past persecution in Laos or a well- 
   founded fear of future persecution if he were returned to Laos were 
   supported by substantial evidence; claim that petitioner was detained for 
   a month when he returned to Laos in 1989 does not rise to the level of 
   past persecution; evidence that petitioner received an education, as well 
   as passports and visas, from the Laotian government, together with 
   Department of State reports indicating thousands of Hmong have been 
   repatriated without evidence of ethnic persecution, supported the IJ's 
   decision that petitioner could not establish a well-founded fear of future 
   persecution.
