United States Fourth Circuit

A petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order denying petitioner withholding of removal and relief under the Convention against Torture (CAT) is: 1) granted in part, where the BIA erred in its ruling declining, on immutability grounds, to recognize the particular social group of former members of the MS-13 gang who have renounced their membership in the gang; but 2) denied in part as to the application under the CAT, where the Immigration Judge and the BIA sufficiently considered the relevant evidence.
