Jose Salazar-Rodriguez v. Jefferson Sessions
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Jose Salazar Rodriguez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision finding him removable. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Valadez-Munoz v. Holder, 623 F.3d 1304, 1308 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Salazar Rodriguez is inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(C)(ii) because he made a false claim of United States citizenship to gain entry to the United States. See Valadez-Munoz, 623 F.3d at 1308-09 (record did not compel reversal of agency’s determination that petitioner made a false claim of citizenship where he presented border officials with a Texas birth certificate and a California driver license under a different identity in his attempt to enter the United States). Thus, we deny the petition for review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
