2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Yahya v. Sessions · Gamero v. Barr“sufficient evidence to demonstrate ... a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits so as to make it worthwhile to develop the issues further at a full evidentiary hearing.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“To constitute a change in country conditions, the conditions must have done more than simply worsen cumulatively.

Where significant human rights abuses previously existed, perhaps all changes could be understood as a cumulative worsening, but differences in degree matter. Some situations present conditions so grave that a new threshold has been met.”
