How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that there was no risk of torture where the petitioner’s tattoos were not gang-related, and petitioner was not a former gang member
- stating that gang tattoos may provide support for a CAT claim when they are conspicuous
- explaining that, under Cole, an agency must give “reasoned consideration” of the evidence underlying a CAT claim
- substantial evidence supported the agency’s finding that petitioner being deported from a wealthier country with “decorative, not gang-related” tattoos failed to establish a clear probability of torture
- substantial evidence supported denial of deferral of removal under CAT where petitioner failed to show more likely than not he would be subjected to torture upon return
