Kariuki v. Holder, 394 Fed.Appx. 359, 361 (9th Cir. 2010)
Aug 23, 2010OUTCOME: Petition granted, case remanded
The Immigration Judge’s finding that Kariuki would not be subject to female genital mutilation as an adult woman was based on pure speculation, and was therefore unsupported by substantial evidence. Th ... e BIA also erred in finding that Kariuki was not credible because she provided “vague and general” testimony that she was subjected to FGM at the hands of the Mungiki.
