Where the petitioner contended that his removal to Mexico would result in his death at the hands of the notorious La Linea drug cartel, the Seventh Circuit remanded the case to the BIA for reconsideration of the petitioner’s eligibility for deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). The court concluded that the petitioner appeared to have a strong case for deferral of removal, and instructed the BIA to pay careful heed to the analysis found in this opinion and its recent decision in Rodriguez-Molinero v. Lynch.
