U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Tazo v. Blanche

September 2, 2026

Summary

The Fifth Circuit denied Richard Tado Tazo's petition for review, affirming the Board of Immigration Appeals' adverse credibility finding and its denial of both withholding of removal and Convention Against Torture relief. The court held that the credibility determination was supported by substantial evidence and that Tazo failed to meet the statutory requirements for the relief sought.
