U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1940
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Immigration Judge and the BIA did
not err in concluding that the physical attacks plaintiffs suffered in their
home village had not been severe enough to rise to the level of
persecution because they were not life threatening; nor did the other
detrimental conditions they suffered as Evangelical Christians, such as
denial of services, rise to the level of persecution; even if the petitioners
had suffered past persecution, they were not entitled to withholding of
removal because they could avoid future persecution by reasonably
relocating to a larger city, such as Oaxaca City, where their families
relocated.
