United States Ninth Circuit

In a petition for review of the immigration judge's (IJ) order, affirmed by the BIA, granting petitioner withholding of removal to Iran, but denying asylum from, and withholding of removal to, the Netherlands, the petition is denied where substantial evidence in the record supported the IJ's conclusion that petitioner failed to carry his burden to show the inability or unwillingness of Dutch authorities to provide certain protection.
