Sixth Circuit: Andrei Skripkov v. William P. Barr


Unreasoned immigration decision in a mixed-motive case gets no deference; the context and substance of the prosecution of the petitioner make clear that it is related to the protected conduct.  The relevant question is not the persecutor's politics, but the politics that the petitioner was thought to have had.

Withholding of removal claims do not require petitioner to establish case around "one central reason."
