1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Senior Circuit Judge.
The lead petitioner, Claudia Cecilia Restrepo Ruiz, is a Colombian national. 1 She seeks review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) rejecting her request for asylum. She argues that the BIA erred in its determination that she failed to establish either past persecution or an objectively reasonable fear of future persecution on account of a statutorily protected ground.
