PER CURIAM: Jashim Uddin is a native and citizen of Bangladesh and is a member of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). After being attacked by members of a rival political group, the Awami League USCA11 Case: 25-12447 Document: 25-1 Date Filed: 06/08/2026 Page: 2 of 10 2 Opinion of the Court 25-12447 (League), he fled his home country for the United States. Upon arrival, he was detained by an immigration officer, after which he applied for asylum and withholding of removal, asserting persecu- tion due to his political opinion. An immigration judge (IJ) denied his application, in part because he found that Uddin had “not con- vincingly demonstrated that the [Bangladeshi] government is un- willing or unable to protect him from private-actor [League] mem- bers.” The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirmed. Uddin has petitioned for our review. His petition is denied. I. Uddin fled his home country of Bangladesh and entered the United States on May 5, 2013, without valid entry documenta- tion. In July 2013, he received a Notice to Appear, charging him as removable under the Immigration and Nationality Act. He con- ceded the charge of removability but then applied for asylum and withholding of removal in May 2014. 1 The IJ conducted a hearing, heard Uddin’s testimony, and evaluated documentary evidence. Uddin testified that he had lived with his parents in Bangla- desh and worked as a farmer on his family’s land. He testified that 1 Uddin also submitted an application for withholding of removal un- der the Convention Against Torture (CAT), which the IJ denied. He did not appeal that decision to the BIA, nor to this Court, and we do not consider it. See Laguna Rivera v. U.S. Att’y Gen., 130 F.4th 915, 925 (11th Cir. 2025) (explain- ing that “we cannot consider claims that have not been raised before the BIA . . . because the exhaustion requirement found in 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) pre- cludes review of a claim that was not presented to the BIA”) (quotation marks and citation omitted). USCA11 Case: 25-12447 Document: 25-1 Date Filed: 06/08/2026 Page: 3 of 10 25-12447 Opinion of the Court 3 he had been a member of the BNP since 2007 and was chosen to serve as a president for a youth chapter of his union in 2009. As a youth chapter president, he’d delegate tasks, raise money, and or- ganize rallies. And he estimated that he’d recruited around 200 people to join the BNP between 2007 and 2013.
