Rojas-Perez v. Holder
Petition for certiorari denied on February 24, 2014
Issue: Whether the Board of Immigration Appeals’ interpretation of “a particular social
group” as requiring an element of “social visibility”
is entitled to deference under Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. National Resources Defense Council as held by seven circuits, or is
an arbitrary or impermissible interpretation of
the statute, as the Third and Seventh Circuits hold.
