U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-2376
and No: 10-3491
Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judge, and
Gritzner, District Judge]
Petition for Review - Immigration. The finding that petitioner did not
suffer past persecution in Venezuela was supported by the evidence as
there was no evidence that petitioner was specifically targeted because of
her political beliefs or that harassment she experience because of her
sexual orientation rose to the level of persecution; nor did petitioner
establish a reasonable fear of persecution if she returned to Venezuela;
request for CAT relief rejected; BIA did not abuse its discretion in
denying petitioner's motion to reopen based on its determination that new
evidence of changed circumstances in Venezuela did not warrant
reopening.
