Urias-Orellana v. Bondi · ¶15

Petitioners appealed the IJ's ruling to the BIA. See 8 CFR § 1003.1(b) (2025) (providing authority for such an appeal). But the BIA affirmed the IJ's conclusion that UriasOrellana's testimony “did not establish that he suffered past harm in the aggregate rising to the level of persecution.” App. to Pet. for Cert. 21a. It also agreed that because Urias-Orellana “only had problems when he returned to his hometown,” his testimony did not establish a well-founded fear of future persecution. Id., at 22a.
