Huang v. Holder, No. 08-5785

In a petition for review of the BIA's order denying petitioner's asylum application, the petition is denied where: 1) the BIA's conclusion that an involuntary IUD insertion was not an "involuntary sterilization" was permissible under Chevron; and 2) thus, the BIA's interpretation that a forced IUD insertion is not a per se ground for granting asylum is entitled to deference.
