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 deferral of removal
under CAT because Quinteros Hernandez failed to show it is more likely than not
he would be tortured or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if
returned to Guatemala. See Gonzalez-Caraveo v. Sessions, 882 F.3d 885, 895 (9th
Cir. 2018) (denial of CAT relief was supported by substantial evidence because the
record evidence did not compel a conclusion contrary to the agency); Aden v.
Holder, 589 F.3d 1040, 1047 (9th Cir. 2009).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
