United States Seventh Circuit

Petition for review of a denial of application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture is denied where the IJ ordered petitioner, a former Palestinian resident of Hebron, removed to Jordan, where he held dual citizenship. Thus, the likelihood of his persecution in Hebron was irrelevant, and petitioner at no point in the proceedings argued that he would be subject to persecution in Jordan.
