Tampubolon v. Holder
(U.S. 9th Cir., Administrative Law, Immigration Law) In a petition for review of the BIA’s denial of petitioners’ asylum application, the petition is granted in part where the BIA erred in failing to apply disfavored group analysis to petitioners’ withholding claim because the record compelled a finding that Christians in Indonesia are a disfavored group. However, the petition is denied in part where the BIA’s failure to address two irrelevant cases did not render the proceeding fundamentally unfair.
