Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Immigration
Record failed to support IJ’s denial of asylum application by alien (native of Mongolia) who asserted that he feared future persecution if forced to return to Mongolia, due to fact that he had been threatened by agents of partially-owned govt. mining operation after he had denounced two prominent and corrupt Mongolian politicians. While IJ found that alien was not credible because his testimony at hearing differed from interviews alien gave at airport upon his entry into U.S., alien was entitled to remand for new credibility determination where transcripts of airport interviews suggested that alien faced significant language barrier in understanding what was being asked of him.
