Safavi, Trial Attorney, 3 Office of Immigration Litigation, 4 United States Department of 5 Justice, Washington, DC. 6 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 7 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 8 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review 9 is DENIED in part and GRANTED in part. 10 Petitioner Yongcheng Sun, a native and citizen of the 11 People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a May 1, 2020 12 decision of the BIA affirming a July 16, 2018 decision of an 13 Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying his application for asylum, 14 withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention 15 Against Torture (“CAT”).

We assume the parties’ familiarity 18 with the underlying facts and procedural history. 19 We have considered both the IJ’s and the BIA’s opinions. 20 See Wangchuck v. Dep’t of Homeland Sec., 448 F.3d 524, 528 21 (2d Cir. 2006). The standards of review are well 22 established. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B) (“the 23 administrative findings of fact are conclusive unless any 24 reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the 2 1 contrary”); Paloka v. Holder, 762 F.3d 191, 195 (2d Cir. 2014) 2 (reviewing factual findings for substantial evidence and 3 questions of law de novo). We deny the petition as to asylum 4 and withholding of removal, but remand for further 5 consideration or explanation of Sun’s CAT claim. 6 …
