Description
Marco Tulio Espinosa-Cortez, his wife, Luz, and his adult daughter, Ximena, are natives and citizens of Colombia. Between 2002 and 2003, the Espinosa-Cortez family was repeatedly threatened by agents of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia ("FARC") in an effort to coerce Espinosa-Cortez, who had close connections to the Colombian government and military, into becoming a FARC informant. Once it became clear that the Colombian government would not take steps to protect his family, Espinosa-Cortez liquidated his assets, fled with his family to the United States, and applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). The immigration judge ("IJ") denied his application, and the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirmed, concluding that Espinosa-Cortez had not shown that he would be persecuted on account of actual or imputed political beliefs if he were removed to Colombia.
