MEMORANDUM **

Michael Wayne Young Sang, a native and citizen of Jamaica, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) denial of his application for deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture (CAT)1. We deny the petition.

Young Sang argues that the BIA’s determination that he was not entitled to deferral of removal2 is not supported .by substantial evidence.3 However, we must uphold the BIA’s factual findings unless the record compels a contrary conclusion; *See INS v. Elias-Zacarias,*502 U.S, 478, 481 n.1, 112 S.Ct. 812, 815 n.1, 117 L.Ed. 2d 38 (1992); *Del Cid Marroquin v. Lynch,*823 F.3d 933, 937 (9th Cir. 2016) (per curiam). Young Sang would have to demonstrate “that the evidence he presented was so compelling that no reasonable fact-finder could fail to find” that it was more *678likely than not that he would be subjected to torture in Jamaica. *Elias-Zacarias,*502 U.S. at 483-84, 112 S.Ct. at 817; *see also Lanza,*389 F.3d at 936.

We have carefully reviewed the record and we are satisfied that Young Sang cannot meet that standard. In order to do so he would have to show that the evidence compelled the determination that it was “more likely than not that he .., would be tortured if removed” to Jamaica. *See*8 C.F.R. §§ 1208.16(c)(2), 1208.17(a); *see also Ahmed v. Keisler,*504 F.3d 1183, 1200 (9th Cir. 2007). That he has not done.

“Torture is an extreme form of cruel and inhuman treatment....” 8 C.F.R. § 1208.18(a)(2). The evidence here does not compel a determination that Young Sang suffered that degree of harm in the past. *See Nuru v. Gonzales,*404 F.3d 1207, 1217 (9th Cir. 2005). He did show that he suffered some physical harm, but not to a degree bespeaking torture. *See e.g,, Ahmed,*504 F.3d at 1200-01; *Kumar v. Gonzales,*444 F.3d 1043, 1047-49, 1055-56 (9th Cir. 2006). Nor does the evidence compel a determination that Young Sang would more likely than not be tortured in the future. It is not sufficient to show evidence of generalized violence4 and of some police brutality,5 and Young Sang did not establish “that [he] would face any particular threat of torture.”6 Moreover, while the Jamaican government may not always be successful in prosecuting perpetrators of violence, that does not compel a determination that the government consents to or acquiesces in the violence. *See*8 C.F.R. § 1208.18(a)(1); *see also Del Cid Marroquin,*823 F.3d at 937.

Petition DENIED.
