MEMORANDUM **

Leticia Rodarte, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the *2 Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reconsider and reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen or reconsider, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we review de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings, Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir. 2001). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

In her opening brief, Rodarte fails to address, and therefore has waived any challenge to, the BIA’s determination that her motion to reconsider was untimely. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not specifically raised and argued in a party’s opening brief are waived).

The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Rodarte’s motion to reopen, because the BIA considered the evidence she submitted and acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to warrant reopening. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”).

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Rodarte failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005).

Finally, we are not persuaded that Ro-darte’s removal results in the deprivation of her children’s rights. See Cabrera-Alvarez v. Gonzales, 423 F.3d 1006, 1012-13 (9th Cir. 2005).

Rodarte’s remaining contentions lack merit.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
