The First Circuit upheld BIA denials that the petitioner was targeted based on her family relationship and that “single mothers with no male protection who are unable to relocate in El Salvador” are a particular social group. The court also denied the CAT claim, affirming that the petitioner presented no evidence that a Salvadoran official would acquiesce to the petitioner’s torture by gang members.

An equally divided en banc First Circuit affirmed the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, holding that the bar to bonded release found in the detention mandate in INA §236(c) applies only to those specified criminal undocumented immigrants whom the Attorney General took into custody when they were released from criminal custody. The court concluded that the two petitioners were not taken into immigration custody when they were released from criminal custody, because they had been released from criminal custody years before their immigration custody began. As a result, the court found that the detention mandate did not bar either petitioner from seeking release on bond pursuant to the Attorney General’s discretionary release authority.
