Gerson E. Alvarenga-Flores v. Jefferson B. Sessions III

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Decided August 28, 2018No. 17-2920PublishedCited by 16 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Barrett, Circuit Judge.

Alvarenga seeks asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture because he fears torture and persecution from gang members if he returns to El Salvador. The immigration judge concluded that Alvarenga lacked credibility and denied him relief. Finding no clear error in the immigration judge's decision, the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed the appeal. Substantial evidence supports the decisions of the immigration judge and the Board, and the record does not compel a contrary conclusion. We therefore deny Alvarenga's petition for review.
