United States First Circuit

Petitioners-Indonesian citizens' petition for review of the BIA's denial of their application for asylum and related relief is denied over petitioner's claim that the BIA erred when it determined that evidence of mistreatment experienced by petitioners in their native Indonesia failed to rise to the level of persecution under immigration laws, as the ruling was supported by substantial evidence in the record.
