De Paz Caal v. Holder
**Persecution, wff of**
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that De Paz Caal failed to establish past persecution because her experiences in Guatemala did not rise to the level of persecution. Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s finding that De Paz Caal did not demonstrate a well-founded fear of future persecution because her two voluntary return trips to Guatemala undermined her claim, and because she failed to show the harm to her brother was part of a pattern of persecution closely tied to her.
