U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-2309
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Petitioner has presented no cognizable
basis that would prohibit the BIA from remanding his case for development
of the record on an issue that the record shows was not plainly argued or
developed - the nature and source of the threats petitioner received while
working as a musician and posting a video of him appearing with a
partially clothed woman and whether the threats were tied to his religion;
the agency did not err in requiring petitioner to present corroborating
evidence to satisfy his burden of proving he faced a particularized threat
of persecution; because petitioner is ineligible for withholding of
removal because he cannot show future persecution on account of a
protected ground, the court would not consider his arguments as to whether
the agency erred in finding he could relocate within Somalia.
