To say that there is judicial hostility to asylum applicants who flee gangs in Central America is an understatement. See De Paula v. U.S. Attorney General, 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 5663 (11th Cir. 2008), Flores-Coreas v. Mukasey, 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 2403 (1st Cir. 2008), Marquez-Perez v. Mukasey, 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 4398 (5th Cir. 2008), Hernandez-Donis v. Attorney General, 2007 U.S. App. LEXIS 5648 (3rd Cir. 2007), In re Anonymous, (BIA, April 17, 2008). Immigration Judges in Boston and Arlington, VA recently granted relief to applicants.
