judge’s (IJ) decision denying her application for asylum and withholding of
removal under both the Immigration and Nationality Act and the United Nations
Convention Against Torture (CAT). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §
1252(a)(1), and deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination
under the REAL ID Act, which applies. See Pub. L. No. 109-13, Div. B, Title I, §
101(a)(3), 119 Stat. 231, 303 (codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii)). Although
Kaur gave detailed testimony about other things, her testimony about harassment
she claimed to suffer was vague, generalized, and devoid of details. Likewise, the
affidavits submitted by the sarpanch of her village and Kaur’s brother fail to
mention any problems that Kaur experienced. Given the totality of the
circumstances, the IJ was not compelled to find her credible. That being so, there
was no credible evidence to support her claim for asylum, withholding of removal,
or relief under CAT.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
