U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-2743
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Loken, Circuit
Judge]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Petitioner sought relief under the
Convention Against Torture, arguing he would be tortured by Al-Shabaab if
he returned to Somalia and that the Somali government would acquiesce in
the torture; the BIA did not err in finding the record did not show that
the Somali government has willfully turned a blind eye to Al-Shabaab's
activities; rather the evidence suggests the government actively combats
the organization and works to maintain order in the country; the fact that
the government has not successfully ended the threat posed by Al-Shabaab
is insufficient to establish that any torture would be with the consent or
acquiescence of the Somali government.
