U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-3565
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Erickson and Grasz, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. During his immigration proceedings
petitioner admitted he transported guns and drugs for MS-13 on multiple
occasions, and the agency did not err in concluding he had committed a
serious nonpolitical crime outside the U.S. before the arrived in this
country and that he was, therefore, ineligible for withholding of removal;
the record was adequate to support this conclusion; the agency did not err
in rejecting the vague, unsupported "duress" argument petitioner presented
to the agency.
