U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2290
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Kansas City Immigration Court. With
respect to petitioner's application for withholding of removal, the Board
did not err in finding that petitioner had failed to identify a
"particular social group" that is recognized under the Immigration and
Nationality Act as he failed to show that his family is different than any
other Salvadoran family that has experienced gang violence; Board did not
err in finding petitioner raised his claim alleging a fear of persecution
on account of political opinion for the first time on administrative
appeal and that the issue was waived; no error in denying relief under the
Convention Against Torture where the petitioner failed to produce
compelling evidence to override the IJ's finding that there was no
evidence that the police in El Salvador condone or participate in criminal
activities and that petitioner's fear of torture was not justified.
