USCA11 Case: 20-13339 Date Filed: 07/23/2021 Page: 1 of 13 [DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 20-13339 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ Agency No. A203-628-200 NORBERTO ROCUBERT-CAMPO, Petitioner, versus U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent. ________________________ Petition for Review of a Decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ________________________ (July 23, 2021) USCA11 Case: 20-13339 Date Filed: 07/23/2021 Page: 2 of 13 Before JILL PRYOR, LUCK, and EDMONDSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Norberto Rocubert-Campo (“Petitioner”), a native and citizen of Cuba, petitions for review of the order by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”): a decision affirming the decision of the Immigration Judge (“IJ”). The IJ’s decision denied Petitioner’s applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and for relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (“CAT”). No reversible error has been shown; we deny the petition. I. Petitioner entered the United States in 2019 and was charged as removable. Petitioner filed an application for asylum, withholding of removal, and for protection under CAT. In his application for relief, Petitioner said he had been persecuted by the Cuban government based on his political opinion. In 2014 in Cuba, Petitioner began working at a government-run slaughterhouse. In September 2015, Petitioner 2 USCA11 Case: 20-13339 Date Filed: 07/23/2021 Page: 3 of 13 complained to his boss that he was not being paid his full salary and was unable to buy products being sold to other employees. Petitioner’s boss said Petitioner was treated differently from other employees because Petitioner belonged to no political or governmental organizations, participated in no political rallies, and because Petitioner’s mother-in-law (who had moved to the United States in 2014) was considered a traitor. Petitioner’s boss threatened to fire Petitioner if Petitioner did not change his political opinion. Petitioner continued to work at the slaughterhouse for another year and then quit his job in September 2016. In October 2016, Petitioner and his wife1 applied for a business license. The director of the national office of workers said Petitioner was ineligible for a business license based on Petitioner’s problems with his last employer, his political opinion, and his lack of membership in a government group. Petitioner accused the director of being a “puppet” for Castro, and Petitioner’s wife made anti-Castro comments. The director called the police. As the police frisked Petitioner’s wife, Petitioner says the officer touched his wife in an inappropriate way. When Petitioner objected, the officer threw Petitioner to the floor and beat him, causing a cut on Petitioner’s forehead. The 1 Petitioner’s wife filed separately an application for relief. That petition is not before us in this appeal. 3 USCA11 Case: 20-13339 Date Filed: 07/23/2021 Page: 4 of 13 officers also hit Petitioner’s wife, resulting in a cut to her upper lip and a chipped tooth.
