Sura v. Garland v. Garland

 Substantial evidence supported the denial of withholding of removal under the serious nonpolitical crime bar where an arrest warrant declaring the alien in contempt of court for failing to attend a pretrial hearing created an indication of reliability by including the alien’s name and identifying information, explaining that he was accused of aggravated murder, listing the names of the victims, and implying that the charged murders were gang related; the Interpol Red Notice contained a brief description of events allegedly involving the alien; and the alien admitted that the identifying information in the documents fit his description, his testimony placed him within several miles of the murder at the time of the crime, and the alien conceded that the Salvadoran arrest warrant issued for him requires a witness, suggesting the Salvadoran government had additional evidence. An alien’s concession of safety combined with an inability to do more than speculate that the police would not protect him from gang violence provided substantial evidence to support the denial of Convention Against Torture protection.
