   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3480
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Colloton and Grasz, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. Khat contains at least two substances listed on the federal drug schedules, and petitioner's conviction under Minnesota's fifth-degree possession statute was a crime related to a federal controlled substance, and he was removable; the cognizability of a proposed social group for asylum purposes presents a question of law the Board of Immigration Appeals reviews de novo; the Board did not err in determining that petitioner had failed to carry his burden of proving entitlement to asylum and that, to the extent the IJ found he had, the finding was clearly erroneous.
