2001 opinions
The court held that a prisoner bringing a retaliation claim need not show an independent liberty interest in the privilege allegedly withheld, and it adopted a burden-shifting framework for proving causation.
The court granted the petition and remanded the firm-resettlement issue because the record did not establish whether South African law or practice made Abdille’s two-year refugee status an offer of permanent resettlement.
The court held that the Board of Immigration Appeals may require an otherwise-credible asylum or withholding applicant to corroborate facts when it is reasonable to expect corroboration, or adequately explain why it is unavailable.
