Decision date: 2011-12-02
Holding that the immigration judge committed an abuse of discretion in denying Haile's application for asylum by engaging in speculation and failing to consider corroborating evidence. Finding that Haile's family-based particular social group was cognizable and that she had a well-founded fear of persecution on that basis and on the basis of her political opinion.
