192918P.pdf   01/15/2021  Mohamud Hassan  v.  William P. Barr
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2918
   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. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see Hassan v. Holder, 446 F.App'x 822 (8th Cir. 2012). The matter was reopened to consider Hassan's request for deferral of removal to Somalia; the BIA's decision denying deferral is affirmed, as substantial evidence supports the IJ's and the BIA's conclusions that Hassan was unlikely to be tortured by Al-Shabaab for minority-clan membership; the record does not show that the Somali government has willfully turned a blind eye to Al-Shabaab's activities, and substantial evidence supported the IJ's and BIA's determinations that the Somali government was unlikely to acquiesce in any torture by Al-Shabaab; the IJ and BIA properly considered the risk of torture in the aggregate.
