United States Eighth Circuit

Petition for review of a denial of asylum and related relief for an Eritrean citizen is denied where: 1) petitioner was not "actually prejudiced" by an alleged lack of due process; 2) there was no abuse of discretion in denials of asylum and withholding relief as the administrative record adequately supported an IJ's adverse credibility finding, and she failed to show a well-founded fear, or clear probability of, persecution on account of a protected ground; and 3) a CAT claim was properly considered.
