Judge denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”), and pretermitting his application for cancellation of removal. After the case was fully briefed, the government filed a citation of supplemental authority and supported a remand of the CAT claim to the BIA for further reconsideration in light of Barajas-Romero v.
