United States Third Circuit

A petition for review of a denial of claims for withholding of removal under the INA and the CAT brought by wheelchair-bound, HIV-positive Haitian petitioner is granted and the matter remanded so that the IJ may squarely address petitioner's challenge to a "particularly serious crime" designation and his challenge based on the CAT involving a Haitian detention facility.
