I wrote a piece analyzing a 1966 U.S. immigration precedent decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals, Matter of Salama, 11 I&N Dec. 536 (BIA 1966). The Board held that a Jewish man from Egypt was entitled to relief in the form of former withholding of deportation on account of the likelihood that he would be persecuted in Egypt on account of his religion. The short decision, which was short on analysis, remains precedential today. I work through the decision and the few times it has been cited to in other precedential decisions.
