Ruben Vega Cruz v. U.S. Attorney General
Opinion
Ruben Vega Cruz, a citizen of Mexico, seeks review of a final order by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which affirmed the denial of his motion to suppress evidence by the Immigration Judge (IJ). On appeal, Vega Cruz argues that the BIA and IJ erred by denying his motion to suppress where he presented prima facie evidence that the traffic stop conducted by local law enforcement was the result of racial profiling. Further, he argues that the 1-213 form, completed by federal immigration agents during his detention subsequent to the stop, lacked reliability because it bore no indication that the agents possessed adequate Spanish language skills to create the document. 1
After considering the parties’ briefs, the record on appeal, and with the benefit of oral argument, we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the BIA’s dismissal of Vega Cruz’s appeal and deny the petition for relief.
PETITION DENIED.
. Vega Cruz arguably does not address the denial of his application for cancellation of removal on appeal. Accordingly, any claim in this regard is abandoned and we will not consider it. See Sepulveda v. U.S. Att'y Gen., 401 F.3d 1226, 1228 n. 2 (11th Cir. 2005) (per curiam). In any event, the claim lacks merit.
