Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[n]o state [shall] . . . expel, return (`refouler') or extradite a person to another state where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“An applicant for relief on the merits under [Article 3 of] the Convention Against Torture bears the burden of establishing `that it is more likely than not that he or she would be tortured if removed to the proposed country of removal.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Under Section 208(a) of the Act, the Attorney General and the Immigration Court as its delegate may grant asylum to an alien who is physically present in the United States, if the alien meets the statutory definition of refugee. A refugee is defined as an individual who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her native country, “because of persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion.” See Section 101(a)(42)(A) of the Act. In order to establish eligibility for asylum, the respondent carries the burden of establishing either past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution. The Immigration statute provides no definition for the phrase “well-founded fear of persecution.” However, the courts have indicated that an applicant for asylum can establish a well-founded fear by showing that a reasonable person in his or her circumstances would fear persecution for one of the five specified grounds.”
