United States First Circuit

In an El Salvadorian native's petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming an Immigration Judge's (IJ) decision to deny petitioner's asylum application, of which her sons were derivative beneficiaries, as well as her requests for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), the petition is denied where: 1) petitioner does not qualify for asylum, and she also does not qualify for withholding of removal; and 2) as to the CAT claim, petitioner has not shown that she will be subject to torture through the acquiescence or willful blindness of a public official.
