Pereira Alves v. Blanche

Summary

The court denied review of the agency's determination that the petitioners did not establish past persecution or an objectively reasonable fear of future persecution in Brazil. Because the petitioners failed to satisfy the lower asylum standard, their withholding-of-removal claim also failed, and the court upheld the denial of remand based on the asylum grant to a relative. The court further held that the petitioners waived their challenges to the denial of reconsideration and reopening.
