LUEVANOS GARCIA AKA v. SESSIONS III (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

Amador Luevanos-Garcia, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) determination under 8 C.F.R. § 1208.31(a) that he did not have a reasonable fear of persecution or torture in Mexico, and thus is not entitled to relief from his reinstated removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the IJ’s factual findings, Andrade-Garcia v. Lynch, 828 F.3d 829, 833 (9th Cir. 2016), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s determination that Luevanos-Garcia failed to establish a reasonable possibility of future persecution in Mexico on account of a protected ground. See Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1016 (9th Cir. 2010) (“An [applicant’s] desire to be free from harassment by criminals motivated by theft or random violence by gang members bears no nexus to a protected ground.”).

Substantial evidence also supports the conclusion that Luevanos-Garcia failed to demonstrate a reasonable possibility of torture by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government of Mexico. See Andrade-Garcia, 828 F.3d at 836-37.

We reject Luevanos-Garcia’s contention that the IJ failed to consider all of his claims and evidence.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
