Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edward J. Bailey on brief for petitioner.

Jimmy Rodriguez, Trial Attorney, United States Department of Justice, Environment and Natural Resources Division, Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Division, and Linda S. Wernery, Assistant Director, Office of Immigration Litigation, on brief for respondent.

STAHL, Senior Circuit Judge.

This appeal involves a Kurdish Syrian who came to the United States 17 years ago and has been living here illegally ever since. Notwithstanding his long residence in the United States, the Department of Homeland Security is endeavoring to remove him to Syria. Finding no error by the Board of Immigration Appeals in rejecting his claim for relief from removal, we deny his petition for review.
