The Ninth Circuit affirmed the denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture relief to two Salvadoran nationals.

3rd Cir. 2:22-cv-02364 Panel Decision

INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE INDUSTRIES, LLC v. INTERNATIONAL PAINTERS AND ALLIED TRADES INDUSTRY PENSION FUND, A

The Third Circuit affirmed a district court ruling that barred a pension fund from collecting withdrawal liability because it failed to notify the employer as soon as practicable. The court held that this timeliness requirement is an independent statutory element of the claim, not a waivable defense subject to mandatory arbitration.
