7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: El Hadj Hamidou Barry v. William P. Barr

Case No.: 18-2334

Officials: BAUER, BRENNAN, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Immigration – Removal Order

El Hadj Hamidou Barry, a native and citizen of Guinea, applied for deferral of his removal from the United States under the United Nations Convention Against Torture. An immigration judge denied Barry’s application because Barry failed to show if removed to Guinea he likely would be tortured. The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed. Barry now petitions this court for review, claiming if removed to Guinea he will be tortured because of his political and familial affiliations and his sexual orientation. Barry has failed to satisfy his burden to substantiate these claims with evidence, so we deny his petition.

Petition Denied
