What is the current state of the law on "imputed political opinion"?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Rodriguez-Alcantara v. I.N.S., 65 F.3d 175 (9th Cir. 1995):

Rodriguez argues that he faces persecution in Peru on the basis of his political opinion for refusing to go on strike at the shoe factory where he worked. Where a petitioner has not overtly expressed his political opinion, we have held that "certain conscious and deliberate acts or decisions by an alien may establish a well-founded fear of persecution on account of imputed political opinion, but only when a persecutor attributes political beliefs to an alien as a result of these acts or decisions." Estrada-Posadas v. INS, 924 F.2d 916, 919 (9th Cir.1991).
