Guerra v. Barr
"Jose Eduardo Guerra (“Guerra”), a citizen and national of Mexico, petitions for review of an adverse decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”). At issue is Guerra’s application for deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). An Immigration Judge (“IJ”) granted Guerra’s application for deferral of removal under CAT, but the BIA reversed. Because the BIA did not properly review the IJ’s factual findings for clear error, as required by 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(d)(3)(i), we grant the petition and remand for further proceedings."
