How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that, “without more,” the inability of government to curtail MS- 13 violence does not entitle petitioner to CAT relief
  • finding that a petitioner who claimed to be from a social group including “young Guatemalan men who have opposed [a gang]” failed to demonstrate both the particularity and visibility required of a cognizable social group
  • denying withholding of removal because “nothing in the record suggests that MS–13 targeted [petitioner] for political reasons” but “the gang [instead] attacked him for resisting its extortionate demands”
  • unless petitioner demonstrates evidence was so compelling that no reasonable fact finder could fail to find in his favor, factual findings will not be reversed
