On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Juan Alcaide-Saldivar, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review

immigration judge’s decision denying his application for relief under the
Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.

§ 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Garcia-
Milian v. Holder, 755 F.3d 1026, 1031 (9th Cir. 2014). We deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Alcaide-Saldivar’s
CAT claim because he did not establish that it is more likely than not he would be
tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to
Mexico. See Aden v. Holder, 589 F.3d 1040, 1047 (9th Cir. 2009); Delgado-Ortiz
v. Holder, 600 F.3d 1148, 1152 (9th Cir. 2010) (generalized evidence of violence
and crime in Mexico was not particular to the petitioners and insufficient to
establish eligibility for CAT relief).
The temporary stay of removal remains in place until issuance of the
mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
