1Opinion of the Court
NOONAN, Circuit Judge:
Guillermo Hernandez-Ortiz (Guillermo) and his younger brother, Florentino Hernandez-Ortiz (Florentino), petition for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (the Board) affirming without opinion a decision of an Immigration Judge (the IJ) denying their requests for asylum and withholding of removal. As the Board’s affirmance was summary, we review the decision of the IJ. Acosta v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 550, 552 (9th Cir.2006). Holding that the IJ erred as a matter of law, we grant the petition and remand.
