Description
This is a petition for review of a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") of the Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS"). Petitioner Anibal Mazariegos is a Guatemalan citizen who applied for asylum in the United States on the ground that he has a well-founded fear of persecution due to his political beliefs. Specifically, Mazariegos contends that he has been persecuted, and fears he will be again, by Guatemalan guerrillas who allegedly targeted him for his service in the Guatemalan army during that countrys civil war. The BIA rejected Mazariegoss application, finding that he could not show that he was subject to persecution on account of his political opinions as opposed to merely his service in the army. The BIA also found that Mazariegos does not have a well-founded fear of persecution throughout the entire country of Guatemala. Because there is substantial evidence supporting the BIAs finding that Mazariegos does not face a threat of persecution country-wide, we reject his petition for review and affirm the BIAs decision.
