   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-3621
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Erickson, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. To warrant a deferral of removal, petitioner must show that it is more likely than not the government of South Sudan would torture him if he returned, and the agency did not err in concluding that he had failed to do so; under the substantial evidence standard, petitioner failed to show that his status as a former child soldier almost 25 years ago created a particularized likelihood of future torture by the government of South Sudan; nor did his evidence show that he would be incarcerated and tortured because of his specific mental health symptoms; there was no evidence that conditions for mentally ill inmates in South Sudan facilities amounted to torture.
