AILA Submits Amicus Brief On Interpretation of “Particular Social Group”
On 9/11/17, the AILA Amicus Committee filed an amicus brief with the Third Circuit on the interpretation of particular social group. The brief argued that the BIA failed to remedy errors made in Valdiviezo and that social distinction is not required to establish a cognizable social group.
