asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.
We grant the petition for review and remand.
In denying Molina-Linares’s asylum and withholding of removal claims, the
BIA found Molina-Linares failed to establish past persecution or a fear of future
persecution on account of a protected ground. When the IJ and BIA issued their
decisions in this case they did not have the benefit of either this court’s decisions in
Henriquez-Rivas v. Holder, 707 F.3d 1081 (9th Cir. 2013) (en banc), and Cordoba
v. Holder, 726 F.3d 1106 (9th Cir. 2013), or the BIA’s decisions in Matter of M-E-
V-G-, 26 I. & N. Dec. 227 (BIA 2014), and Matter of W-G-R-, 26 I. & N. Dec. 208
(BIA 2014). In light of these intervening decisions, and our decision in Perdomo
v. Holder, 611 F.3d 662, 669 (9th Cir. 2010) (remanding for the agency to
determine “whether women in Guatemala constitute a particular social group, and,
if so, whether [petitioner] has demonstrated a fear of persecution” on account of
her membership in a protected group), we grant Molina-Linares’s petition for
review and remand her asylum and withholding of removal claims for further
proceedings consistent with this disposition. See INS v. Ventura, 537 U.S. 12, 16-
18 (2002) (per curiam).
PETITION FOR GRANTED; REMANDED.
