United States Ninth Circuit
Sanjaa v. Sessions, 13-73098
Denying a petition to review the Board of Immigration Appeals' denial of withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture for a citizen of Mongolia, holding that substantial evidence supported the Board's determination that the petitioner was targeted for his role in a drug-trafficking investigation and not on account of his political opinion, purported whistleblowing, or status as a former police officer and that the UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime did not provide an independent basis for withholding of removal.
