United States Eighth Circuit

In a petition for review of the BIA's denial of petitioner's application for asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the Convention against Torture, the petition is denied where: 1) even if the cumulation of petitioner's explanations could plausibly account for the significant inconsistencies in her asylum applications, the Immigration Judge (IJ) did not err by rejecting them; 2) the IJ gave an adequate explanation for the adverse credibility determination, that the determination was supported by substantial evidence, and that a reasonable adjudicator would not be compelled to reach a contrary conclusion.
