Immigration & Naturalization Service v. Elias-Zacarias (1992) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Sum

The case is about whether someone forced into military service by a non-governmental group is a political refugee. Elias-Zacarias asked for asylum and withholding of deportation, saying that guerrillas asked him and his family to join them but they refused. He claimed that he was afraid of government retaliation. The Board of Immigration Appeals denied his request, and the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the BIA's decision. The Supreme Court reviewed the decision of the Court of Appeals.
