| | SUPREME COURT REVERSES NINTH CIRCUIT ASYLUM GRANT |
 | | The Ninth Circuit found that the Board had erred in concluding that the past persecution Fredy Ventura suffered was not on account of his political opinion. |
 | | Rather than remand the case, however, the Ninth Circuit addressed the issue itself, finding that what changes there were in Guatemala did not eliminate the possibility that Ventura would again face persecution there. |
 | | The Ninth Circuit, which hears cases originating in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, is one of the busiest in the country. |
