Jorge Regalado-Escobar, a native and citizen of [Country], was placed in removal proceedings after being encountered by immigration authorities.

**Issues on Appeal:**
On appeal to the BIA, Regalado-Escobar raised several issues:
1. Whether the IJ erred in finding that Regalado-Escobar did not demonstrate a credible fear of persecution.

3. The adequacy of the IJ's analysis concerning the standards for withholding of removal and CAT protection.
**Decision:**
