Key questions included whether Flores-Larrazola met the necessary criteria for showing a well-founded fear of persecution and the adequacy of the evidence presented in his application for asylum.
**Arguments:**
- **Petitioner’s Argument:** Flores-Larrazola argued that he provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate his fear of persecution based on his political opinion and that his prior experiences warranted protection under U.S. asylum laws.

**Decision:**
The appellate court reviewed the findings of the lower immigration court and the arguments presented by both sides. The court had to consider the standard of review applicable to immigration cases and whether the immigration judge properly evaluated the evidence and credibility of the asylum claim.
**Outcome:**
