Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Margaret W. Wong, MARGARET WONG & ASSOCIATES LLC, Cleveland, Ohio, for Petitioner.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Andrea Gevas, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Judge(s): GIBBONS, THAPAR, and LARSEN, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: On Petition for Review from the Board of Immigration Appeals

THAPAR, Circuit Judge. Juan Luis Gamas-Vicente illegally entered the United States in 2014. He conceded that he was removable but has spent the last decade seeking asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. An immigration judge rejected his application, and the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed. They concluded that Gamas-Vicente didn’t establish that he is a member of a particular social group facing persecution. We agree, so we deny his petition for review.
