7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Raul Plaza-Ramirez v. Jefferson B. Sessions III

Case No.: 14-2828

Officials: MANION, HAMILTON, and BRENNAN, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Immigration – Removal Order

Raul Plaza-Ramirez is a citizen of Mexico. He petitions for judicial review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order denying his application for withholding of removal based on a threat of persecution if he were to return to Mexico. The immigration judge denied relief, finding no nexus between Plaza-Ramirez’s membership in a “particular social group” and the persecution he described. The Board affirmed. We deny the petition because substantial evidence supports the judge’s and the Board’s decisions.

Petition Denied
