Strong #Fourth Cir. published #asylum decision today finding that #immigration judges have a statutory duty to fully develop the record, especially in #ProSe cases, especially, and for #ParticularSocialGroup cases 1/3 #https://dockets.justia.com/docket/circuit-courts/ca4/19-1904
"The Govt cavalierly suggests that delineating a legally cognizable PSG should be 'nothing difficult or complex for an unrepresented person fleeing persecution' unless the applicant 'is trying to construct an artificial group to create #asylum or withholding eligibility...'"2/3
"This view of the matter is utterly divorced from reality." As Judge Learned Hand once said, "standing is a word game played by secret rules." The same can be said for #PSG formulation, and CA4 appropriately recognizes #asylum as one of the complex areas of #immigration law. 3/3
