Hye Won Kim v. Holder

Lead Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Hye Won Kim, a native and citizen of South Korea, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her 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 Km’s contention that the government failed to establish removability by clear and convincing evidence, because Kim conceded removability. See Shin v. Mukasey, 547 F.3d 1019, 1024 (9th Cir.2008).
We also reject Km’s contention that the government should be equitably estopped from ordering her removed. Although a government employee, Leland Sustaire, issued the fraudulent alien registration card, and Km was merely a derivative beneficiary, the record shows Km’s father was not “ignorant of the true facts” when he procured the card, 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. Schiltgen, 213 F.3d 449, 454 (9th Cir.2000).
*802 Finally, we find no defects amounting to a due process violation. See Shin at 1024-25 ; Hong v. Mukasey, 518 F.3d 1030, 1035-36 (9th Cir.2008).
