Case Summary: Mr. MG, his wife, and two children are from an indigenous community. His uncle fought for the rights of indigenous people and asked the government to send police because a cartel wanted to take their property.

After this, he and his family came to the U.S. Since arriving in the U.S., two of his uncles and a cousin have been killed by cartel members.
