Amarjit Singh v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Cesar Augusto Ambrocio, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence factual findings, including the agency’s adverse credibility findings. Cortez-Pineda v.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination on the basis of inconsistencies in Ambrocio’s testimony regarding when he received the threatening letters and on the basis of the omission of his union activities from his asylum application and interview. See id. at 1124 (inconsistency regarding when petitioner received threats); Husyev v. Mukasey, 528 F.3d 1172, 1183 (9th Cir.2008) (omission of political activism from petitioner’s application and interview). Further, Ambrocio’s explanations of the inconsistencies and omission do not compel a contrary result. See Zamanov v. Holder, 649 F.3d 969, 974…
