Mohndamenang v. Garland, No. 21-60380 (5th Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
Petitioner is a native and citizen of Cameroon. He applied for admission to the United States in 2019 and was subsequently charged with removability under 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1182(a)(7)(A)(i)(I). On November 13, 2019, he appeared and admitted that he was removable but applied for asylum or withholding of removal based on his political opinion and sought protection under the CAT. Petitioner's claim was based on the allegations that the Cameroon government was killing “English-speaking Cameroonians” such as himself.
The Immigration Judge denied Petitioner's request, finding that his testimony was too vague to be credible, noting that there were likely documents that were not presented that could have corroborated his claims. In front of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"), Petitioner claimed that the Immigrations Judge erred in its credibility assessment. The BIA denied relief.
On appeal, The Fifth Circuit denied Petitioner's petition for review, finding no grounds to reverse the BIA's decision.
