The court found the agency's determination that the petitioner faced no current threat of persecution or torture was supported by substantial evidence.
The Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order dismissing an asylum claim. The court upheld the agency's adverse credibility finding based on inconsistencies in the petitioner's testimony.

The court held that no reasonable jury could find the officers objectively unreasonable in their conduct or that the officers violated clearly established law.

The court found substantial evidence supported the agency's conclusions regarding the petitioner's competency, waiver of claims, and ineligibility for withholding of removal.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a wrongful death claim against child welfare workers who failed to prevent a child's death while in his mother's custody.

The court found substantial evidence supported the denial of withholding of removal and Convention Against Torture protection but remanded for further consideration of cancellation of removal eligibility.
