U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-2397
and No: 23-1072
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Wollman, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. The IJ's decision to deny withholding
of removal and CAT protection was supported by substantial evidence; the
BIA properly denied petitioner's two motions to reopen, one based on
ineffective assistance of counsel and the other on Mendez Rojas class
membership; petitioner was not prejudiced by counsel's performance and
petitioner failed to show any nexus between the harm suffered and any
protected ground.
