   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1095
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. Assuming that petitioner's proposed family-based groups are cognizable groups for his claim that he was subject to persecution because of his membership in a protected group, he failed to show a nexus between his membership and the persecution; petitioner failed to show the government of El Salvador participates in or acquiesces to torture, and the BIA did not err in rejecting petitioner's Convention Against Torture claim. 151095P.pdf 02/23/2016 Remberto Aguinada-Lopez v. Loretta E. Lynch U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1095 Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. None of the proposed social groups in which petitioner claimed membership had the kind of visibility and particularity required to constitute a recognizable social group, and the BIA did not err in denying petitioner's claim for withholding of removal; while El Salvador has struggled to control gang violence, it has not acquiesced to gang violence, and the BIA did not err in denying petitioner's claim for Convention Against Torture relief.
