Gloria Villa De Carrillo v. Jefferson Sessions

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Gloria Villa de Carrillo, 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 denying her motion to terminate removal proceedings, denying her application for relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”), and ordering her removed. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review dé novo the denial of a motion to terminate and claims of constitutional violations. Martinez-Medina v. Holder, 673 F.3d 1029, 1033 (9th Cir. 2011). We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not err or violate due process in denying Villa de Carrillo’s motion to terminate removal| proceedings or in sustaining the removability charges, because Samayoa-Martinez v. Holder forecloses her contention that her statements to immigration officials at the border were unconstitutionally obtained in violation of 8 C.F.R. § 287.3(e). 558 F.3d 897, 901-02 (9th Cir. 2009); see Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d *528 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (an alien must show error and substantial prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Villa de Carrillo’s CAT claim, because Villa de Carrillo failed to establish it is more likely than not she would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government of Mexico. See Silaya at 1073; Zheng v. Holder, 644 F.3d 829, 836-36 (9th Cir. 2011) (claims of possible torture were speculative).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
