Case Summary
**Case Summary: Ricky Nababan v. Eric H. Holder Jr.**
**Docket Number:** 7848702
**Court:** [Specify the court if known, e.g., U.S. Court of Appeals, etc.]
**Date:** [Specify the date if known]
**Parties Involved:**
- **Petitioner:** Ricky Nababan
- **Respondent:** Eric H. Holder Jr., Attorney General of the United States
**Background:**
Ricky Nababan, a foreign national, challenged a decision made by the immigration authorities regarding his claim for asylum or related protections. The case stems from Nababan's argument that he faced persecution in his home country, which he believed warranted protection under U.S. immigration law.
**Legal Issues:**
The key issues in the case included:
- Whether Nababan demonstrated a well-founded fear of persecution based on his political beliefs or membership in a particular social group.
- The sufficiency of evidence provided by Nababan to support his claims for asylum.
- The standard of review applicable to decisions made by immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).
**Proceedings:**
Nababan's case was initially heard by an immigration judge who denied his claim for relief. Subsequently, the BIA upheld the immigration judge's ruling. In response to the BIA's decision, Nababan sought judicial review in the federal court.
**Arguments:**
- **For Nababan:** The petitioner argued that the evidence of past persecution and the risk of future harm was sufficient to warrant asylum. Nababan maintained that his political activities and beliefs would lead to serious repercussions if he were returned to his home country.
- **For Holder:** The respondent contended that Nababan had not established his eligibility for asylum, arguing that the evidence did not demonstrate a clear probability of persecution or that he did not meet the requisite criteria outlined in immigration law.
**Decision:**
