United States Third Circuit

Petition for review of a Board of Immigrant Appeals (BIA) decision denying petitioners withholding of removal, on grounds that his arrest and prosecution for violating Chinese laws regarding the assistance of North Korean refugees would not amount to persecution "because of" his political opinion, is denied where petitioner presents none of the indicia of political motivation on the part of the Chinese government that US law requires.
