| Summary: | This legal note will analyze the repercussions stemming from the Matter of A-R-C-G- in
asylum law. This case allowed women who had endured domestic violence to receive asylum in
the United States under the particular social group classification. Part I will discuss the facts and
analysis in the Matter of A-R-C-G- case as decided by the Board of Immigration Appeals. Part II
will analyze the particular social group classification and its evolution over time. This part will
also compare the elements of domestic violence in Matter of A-R-C-G- to the particular social
group requirement so as to explain how to apply for asylum under this label. Part III will
hypothesize how the precedent set by this case could be expanded to allow women persecuted by
gang violence to successfully apply for asylum in the United States. |
