Gomez v. Attorney General, 3rd Cir. 05/30/08 

FISHER, Hardiman, Stapleton 

 

3rd Cir agreed with the IJ and BIA that petitioner from Colombia had not established past persecution on account of a protected ground, but found that petitioner had a well-founded fear of future persecution as a member of a particular social group - women who escaped FARC. The court remanded to the BIA to address whether  petitioner could reasonably relocate, and also to address her withholding and CAT claims.
