Coello v. Blanche

Summary

The Ninth Circuit denied the petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order denying the petitioners asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. The court held that the agency’s factual findings were supported by substantial evidence and that the petitioners failed to demonstrate a protected‑ground nexus or a likelihood of torture. Accordingly, the motion to stay removal was dismissed as moot.
