1Opinion of the Court
REINHARDT, Circuit Judge:
Mauro Jose Guinac Quiej (“Guinac”) and Mildred Yesenia Duarte de Guinac (“Duarte”), husband and wife, petition this court for review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA” or “Board”) dismissing on the merits their consolidated appeals from the order of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”). The IJ’s order had denied their applications for asylum and withholding of deportation. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a.2 We conclude that Guinac has a well-founded fear of persecution on account of his race. Accordingly, we grant the petition for review.3
