De Sanchez v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Irma De Sanchez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision finding her removable for participating in alien smuggling. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s find *595 ings of fact, Urzua Covarrubias v. Gonzales, 487 F.3d 742, 744 (9th Cir. 2007), and review de novo legal questions, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 586, 591 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that De Sanchez is removable for alien smuggling where the documentary evidence indicated that De Sanchez knowingly assisted in the smuggling attempt. See Urzua Covarrubias, 487 F.3d at 748-49; see also Altamirano, 427 F.3d at 595.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
