Maximo Armando ANTUNEZ-PINEDA, Petitioner, v. Merrick GARLAND, U.S. Attorney General, Respondent.
Maximo Armando Antunez-Pineda, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions us to review his withholding of removal claim. He describes experiencing an armed robbery and accompanying death threat that the Immigration Judge determined was not persecution.
We are not compelled to reverse the findings of the Immigration Judge in this case. Antunez-Pineda has not described harm rising to the level of persecution. Gjetani v. Barr, 968 F.3d 393, 398 (5th Cir. 2020).
We cannot review the other claims made by Antunez-Pineda as they are unexhausted and therefore not under our jurisdiction. Roy v. Ashcroft, 389 F.3d 132, 137 (5th Cir. 2004).
DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
