Joo Yong Ahn v. Holder

MEMORANDUM **

Joo Yong Ahn and his wife, Hea Jung Ahn, natives and citizens of South Korea, petition for review of the Board of Immi *793 gration Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 , and we deny the petition.

We reject petitioners’ contention that the government failed to establish remova-bility by clear and convincing evidence, because petitioners conceded removability. See Shin v. Mukasey, 547 F.3d 1019, 1024 (9th Cir.2008).

We also reject petitioners’ contention that the government should be equitably estopped from ordering their removal. Although a government employee, Leland Sustaire, issued petitioners’ fraudulent alien registration cards, the record shows petitioners were not “ignorant of the true facts” when they procured the cards, id. at 1025 , and, “[i]n any event, estoppel against the government is unavailable where petitioners have not lost any rights to which they were entitled.” Sulit v. Sehittgen, 213 F.3d 449, 454 (9th Cir.2000).

Finally, we find no defects amounting to a due process violation. See Shin, 547 F.3d at 1024-25 ; Hong v. Mukasey, 518 F.3d 1030,…
