Topic	Barr reverses ruling on asylum for those with persecuted family members
The Admiral 07/29/19 2:13:13 PM #3:	Funbazooka posted... The order states that the immigration board had improperly decided a 2018 case, in which a migrant had claimed asylum due to persecution, stating that his father, who owned a store, was targeted by a local drug cartel. The migrant said that qualified as membership in a particular social group, as laid out in the immigration law. Consistent with these prior decisions, I conclude that an aliens family-based group will not constitute a particular social group unless it has been shown to be socially distinct in the eyes of its society, not just those of its alleged persecutor, the attorney generals decision reads. Makes sense. Asylum laws were created to help ethnic and religious groups undergoing widespread persecution. If this is just some local drug cartel threatening a family, they can simply relocate to a different place in that same country. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:925338854] in Barr rever...
