EOIR BIA Decision

The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a decision in Matter of J-A-, 29 I&N Dec. 253 (BIA 2025).

Evidence that the Uzbek Government is pursuing charges of terrorist activity against the respondent, that he will be detained upon removal, and that there are isolated incidents of torture does not establish that he will more likely than not be tortured where there is insufficient evidence that he will be prosecuted for illegitimate reasons.
