Court
Null
Petition for Review under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1). In a published decision, the panel held that the Board of Immigration Appeals erred in finding the noncitizen was not credible viewing the totality of the circumstances.
The Ninth Circuit wrote: "Our holding that the agency’s decision was unsupported by substantial evidence flows directly from well-established circuit precedent regarding responsiveness, lack of detail, and omissions in the credibility context. The government’s position was therefore not substantially justified."
