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.
