Judicial review dismissed as the RAD reasonably found the applicant faced no forward-looking risk.
The applicant, a citizen of Mexico, sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision dismissing her appeal.
She alleged risk from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel following an express kidnapping and extortion attempt in 2019.
The RAD concluded there was insufficient evidence of an ongoing forward-looking risk because the initial incident was opportunistic, no ransom was paid, and the applicant's family had remained safely in the same city for years.
The Federal Court found the RAD's sufficiency analysis reasonable and dismissed the application for judicial review.
