Gomez was denied because he was inconsistent

Mr. Gomez, from Honduras, was denied asylum, in part because he was inconsistent with himself and with the letters from his family.
1. Gomez testified he had an important, well-known, political opinion. However, not one of the letters from his family members mentioned anything about his alleged opinion. Also, there was no evidence that he "actively worked" in politics, or with any groups that had opinions. Furthermore, he did not "actively work" with any political groups here in USA. Gomez did not clearly state what his political opinion was, or how he expressed it, in his country.

2. In his written application, Gomez wrote that he was first threatened on September 6th. In court, he orally testified the first threat was on September 2nd.
3. In his written application, Gomez wrote that he was threatened by a group of 15 men, none of whom he recognized, and that he did not know any of their names. In court, he orally testified that among the 15 men, were "Miguel, Fito, and Noe."
