Case Summary
**Case Summary: Jose Corrales-Navarro v. Eric Holder, Jr.**
**Docket Number:** 2608148
**Court:** United States Court of Appeals
**Date:** (Insert Date Here)
**Background:**
Jose Corrales-Navarro appealed a decision made by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) regarding his denial of relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) and his application for asylum. The case involves claims of fear of persecution and torture based on Corrales-Navarro's membership in a particular social group and political opinions attributed to him.
**Facts:**
Corrales-Navarro, a native of (insert country), argued that he faced threats and potential harm from individuals associated with gangs in his home country. He claimed that he had been targeted due to his opposition to gang-related activities and that the government was unable or unwilling to protect him from this persecution. He sought asylum and protection under CAT, alleging that if returned to his home country, he would be at risk of severe harm.
**Procedural History:**
After an immigration judge (IJ) denied his application for asylum and CAT protection, Corrales-Navarro appealed the decision to the BIA. The BIA upheld the IJ's ruling, concluding that Corrales-Navarro had not established a well-founded fear of persecution or showed that he would likely be tortured if returned to his country.
**Issues:**
1. Did the BIA err in its evaluation of the evidence regarding the likelihood of persecution Corrales-Navarro faced upon returning to his home country?
2. Did the BIA properly consider the standard for protection under CAT?
**Holding:**
The United States Court of Appeals (insert jurisdiction) reviewed the BIA's decision and the record. The court generally grants deference to the BIA's factual findings but also examines whether it adhered to legal standards and principles of due process.
