Description
Carlos Silva-Rengifo petitions for review of an en banc decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying his motion to reopen. The government did not initially oppose that motion. However, after the Board granted permission to reopen, the government petitioned for en banc review by the entire Board. The BIAs en banc decision reversed the decision to allow Silva-Rengifo to reopen his motion. The en banc Board held that Silva-Rengifo had not established a prima facie case for relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the "Convention" or the "CAT") because he had not shown governmental acquiescence in the torturous conduct. For the reasons that follow, we will reverse the BIAs en banc decision and remand to the BIA for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
