USCIS PowerPoint Presentation on Female Genital Mutilation

5/15/15 AILA Doc. No. 17110103. Asylum & Refugees

Obtained via FOIA by Catholic Charities of DC, USCIS provided a PowerPoint presentation from the Arlington Asylum Office on female genital mutilation (FGM), including information that FGM could be sufficiently serious to rise to the level of persecution and that testimony alone is sufficient to adjudicate all asylum claims, including FGM. Special thanks to David Cleveland.
