Arsenia Marisol Xirum-Tomas Petitioner v. Jefferson B. Sessions, III, Attorney General of the United States of America Respondent


Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals [Unpublished] Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.

Guatemalan citizen Arsenia Marisol Xirum-Tomas petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision upholding an immigration judge's denial of asylum and withholding of removal. Xirum-Tomas offers no basis for challenging the determination that she established no nexus between the harm she claimed to have suffered and any protected ground. See Gomez-Garcia v. Sessions, 861 F.3d 730, 733 (8th Cir. 2017) (standard for asylum); Malonga v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 546, 551 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard for withholding of removal). The petition for review is denied.
