Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
THOMPSON, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner Manuel Ordonez-Quino seeks review of a Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision affirming an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture. Among other things, he says the BIA’s and IJ’s determinations that he did not demonstrate past persecution on account of a protected ground were not supported by substantial evidence. Because we agree, we grant his petition and remand for further proceedings.
