TA6-04222

Claimant failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence that state protection in Mexico was unavailable or ineffective because credible documentary evidence showed functioning state institutions and anti‑corruption efforts, and the claimant did not exhaust available domestic remedies or seek police or administrative redress before fleeing; therefore no serious possibility of persecution existed and the claims fail.
