Flores-Rios v. Lynch, Dec. 1, 2015- "Because few groups are more “readily identifiable than the family,” the BIA’s determination that the petitioner had not shown membership in a particular social group “was manifestly contrary to law.” ... In the face of Flores-Rios’s social group claim and the evidence that gang members killed Flores-Rios’s father, murdered his cousin and threatened his sister, the BIA erred in not addressing the family aspect of Flores-Rios’s social group claim. Accordingly, the petition for review is DENIED in part and GRANTED in part. The BIA’s decision is VACATED AND REMANDED for further proceedings."
