Urias-Orellana v. Bondi · ¶17

The Court of Appeals ultimately affirmed, concluding that Urias-Orellana's testimony did not compel a finding of either past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution. See id., at 336–338. In particular, it determined that “[t]he Agency reasonably concluded that the threats experienced by Urias-Orellana” were not “so menacing as to cause significant actual suffering or harm.” Id., at 336 (internal quotation marks omitted). It similarly determined that, because “Urias-Orellana was able to live in towns across El Salvador for years without harassment and only encountered difficulties once he returned to his hometown,” a reasonable factfnder would not be compelled to find a well-founded fear of future persecution. Id., at 338.
