**Parties:**

- **Respondent:** Eric Holder, Attorney General
**Background:**
Hernandez Hernandez, a citizen of [Country], sought relief from removal from the United States after being apprehended by immigration authorities.

**Legal Issues:**
The primary legal issue in this case revolved around whether Hernandez qualified for protection under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) as a refugee or if he could successfully invoke the idea of “withholding of removal” based on the potential for persecution upon return to his home country.
**Procedural History:**
Hernandez’s initial application for asylum was denied by an immigration judge. The judge concluded that the evidence presented did not sufficiently demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution.

The petitioner then sought review in the [specific appellate court], contesting the BIA’s decision.
**Arguments:**

He contended that the BIA misapplied the legal standards for demonstrating eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal.
- **Respondent’s Argument:** The government, represented by Attorney General Holder, asserted that the BIA’s decision was supported by substantial evidence. The government maintained that Hernandez had not established a clear case of persecution nor demonstrated that he would face imminent harm if returned to his country.
**Decision:**
The [specific court] ultimately ruled in favor of [Hernandez or Holder], affirming or reversing the BIA's decision. The court examined the standards for asylum and withholding of removal, evaluating the evidence and legal arguments presented. [Include specific findings of the court, such as whether it found the BIA's reasoning arbitrary or capricious and if it provided any insight or guidance regarding future similar cases.]
**Conclusion:**

**Significance:**
This case contributes to the body of immigration law and clarifies the standards applied when assessing claims of fear of persecution under the INA, potentially influencing similar cases in the future.
