   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2472
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Kelly and Grasz, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. The agency did not err in concluding that none of petitioner's 12 proposed particular social groups was cognizable for asylum purposes; seven of the groups lack social distinction and five of the remaining groups lack particularity; because petitioner failed to establish membership in a cognizable social group, the BIA did not err in denying his applications for asylum and withholding of removal; petitioner's CAT claim fails, as the record does not support his argument that the Mexican government has turned a blind eye to gang-inflicted torture.
