OPINION

IKUTA, Circuit Judge:

Nelson Andrade-Garcia petitions for review of.the immigration judge’s determination, in a reasonable fear proceeding, that he lacked a reasonable fear of torture and therefore is not entitled to relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) from his reinstated removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1). See Ortiz-Alfaro v. Holder, 694 F.3d 955, 958 (9th Cir.2012). Contrary to the government’s argument, our review of the immigration judge’s determination is not limited to the question whether it was “facially legitimate and bona fide.”…
