Immigration: Asylum-Convention Against Torture-Motion to Terminate Proceedings
Staff Report//November 13, 2023//
Listen to this articlePetitioner sought review of the BIA’s denial of her request to terminate the proceedings and dismissal of her appeal of the denial of her request for asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
Where deficiencies in the notices to appear did not divest the immigration court of jurisdiction, the BIA correctly denied petitioner’s motion to terminate the proceedings, and there was substantial evidence to support the IJ’s conclusion that petitioner failed to establish a nexus between her proposed particular social group and the persecution she claimed to have suffered or feared would suffer if returned to Guatemala.
Petition is denied.
