United States Eighth Circuit

Petition for review of a decision denying Iraqi application for asylum and related relief under the battered spouse provisions added to the Immigration and Nationality Act by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is denied over claims that an IJ erred by: 1) finding her asylum petition frivolous; 2) improperly denying her asylum petition without fully considering her past persecution and well-founded fear of future persecution; 3) pretermitting and denying her application for VAWA cancellation; 4) failing to withhold removal under the INA and under the CAT; and 5) denying her due process.
