MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Gonzalez v. I.N.S., 82 F.3d 903 (9th Cir. 1996):

Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 961 (9th Cir.1996) (en banc) (citations omitted). As this definition suggests, we are trying to get at some distinction between mild and severe burdens imposed on those with disfavored religious beliefs.
