Chen v. Holder, Jr.

LIPEZ, Circuit Judge.

Hong Chen, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, entered the United States without being admitted or paroled. She was placed into removal proceedings and filed applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). An immigration judge (“IJ”) denied Chen’s applications for relief; the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) subsequently dismissed her appeal. Chen now petitions for review of the BIA’s order. Under the deferential standard of review we accord to the agency’s factfinding, we deny the petition.
