United States Eleventh Circuit


Santamaria v. US Atty. Gen., 06-16221

Denial of petitioner's asylum application and an order of removal are vacated and remanded where substantial evidence did not support a finding that petitioner could not demonstrate a subjective fear of future persecution, as the underlying record suggested that petitioner suffered past persecution on account of her political opinion.
