Ying Yang, a native of [Insert Country], was ordered to be removed from the United States due to several factors, including potential violations of immigration law.

The court affirmed the decision of the BIA, upholding Yang's removal from the United States. The ruling emphasized the importance of meeting the evidentiary burden for asylum claims and the deference given to the BIA’s findings on credibility.
