IJ Grants Withholding to Single Mother Fleeing Violence in Guatemala

The IJ granted withholding to a single Guatemalan woman and asylum to her two children, after giving de minimus weight to the record of sworn statement completed by CBP, which stated that the respondent was coming to the United States to work and had no fear of return.
