LOPEZ-BENITEZ v. GARLAND

Holding that Lopez-Benitez failed to show nexus between his family-based particular social group and the extortion he suffered at the hands of the MS-13 gang because he did not submit evidence that he was targeted on account of his family beyond a single sentence in his own testimony. Also holding that Lopez-Benitez failed to exhaust administrative remedies for his CAT claim by only raising it in his brief before the Board of Immigration Appeals in the introduction and statement of facts.
