Title: New Rules Regarding Procedures for Asylum and Withholding of Removal | |
Abstract: This rule proposes to amend the Immigration and Naturalization Services regulations that govern asylum and withholding of removal. This rule clarifies that, in cases where the applicant has established past persecution, the Attorney General may deny asylum in the exercise of discretion, if it is established by a preponderance of the evidence that the applicant does not face a reasonable possibility of future persecution in the applicant's country of nationality or, if stateless, the applicant's country of last habitual residence. | |
