Sukhnand Singh v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

MEMORANDUM
Sukhnand Singh (Singh), a native and citizen of India, and his derivative beneficiaries Kulwinder Kaur and Abhinav Singh Sunnar (collectively Petitioners), seek review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) rejection of their claims for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Petitioners assert claims as to both India and the Philippines. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 , and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not conduct impermissible fact-finding when it examined the IJ’s findings and the record to determine that Petitioners did not qualify for relief. See Ridore v. Holder, 696 F.3d 907, 919, 921-22 (9th Cir.2012) (concluding that the BIA properly deferred to the IJ’s fact-finding when it considered the IJ’s findings and the record). Similarly, we find nothing in the record that suggests that the BIA did not consider all relevant evidence during its review. See Cole v. Holder, 659 F.3d 762, 771 (9th Cir.2011) (holding that a “general statement that the agency considered all the evidence before it may be sufficient” (internal quotation marks and brackets omitted)).
