the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. §
1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Edu v.
Holder, 624 F.3d 1137, 1142 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of deferral of removal
under CAT because Rodriguez Alfaro failed to establish it is more likely than not
he will be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government of
Mexico. See Zheng v. Holder, 644 F.3d 829, 835-36 (9th Cir. 2011) (possibility of
torture too speculative); Delgado-Ortiz v. Holder, 600 F.3d 1148, 1152 (9th Cir.
2010) (generalized evidence of violence and crime in Mexico not particular to
petitioners was insufficient to establish CAT eligibility).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
