agency’s findings of fact, Urzua Covarrubias v. Gonzales, 487 F.3d 742, 744 (9th
Cir. 2007), and review de novo legal questions, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d
586, 591 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that De Sanchez is
removable for alien smuggling where the documentary evidence indicated that De
Sanchez knowingly assisted in the smuggling attempt. See Urzua Covarrubias,
487 F.3d at 748-49; see also Altamirano, 427 F.3d at 595.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
