7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Jose Edin Pineda-Teruel v. Merrick B. Garland

Case No.: 20-3516

Officials: EASTERBROOK, ROVNER, and KIRSCH, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Immigration – Removal Proceedings

Jose Edin Pineda-Teruel illegally entered the United States in 2007. He was removed to Honduras in 2017. In 2019, he again attempted to enter the United States but was apprehended at the border. Facing enforcement of the prior removal order, Pineda-Teruel filed an application seeking withholding of removal under the Immigration and Nationality Act and protection under the Convention Against Torture, claiming that he was the target of an extortion scheme in Honduras and risked death if he returned. Both an immigration judge and the Board of Immigration Appeals found that Pineda-Teruel failed to establish eligibility for withholding of removal under the Immigration and Nationality Act or protection under the Convention Against Torture. We find no error and therefore deny Pineda-Teruel’s application.

Petition denied
