2 of his motion to terminate the remova l proceedings. According to Resendez Ramos, the BIA erroneously found that he was conditionally paroled under § 236(a)(2)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) given the
record evidence that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intended

to grant him humanitarian parole under § 212(d)(5)(A) of the INA . Resendez Ramos also asks this court to grant him a stay of removal . This court reviews the BIA’s denial of a motion to reconsider “under a highly deferential abuse

of

- discretion standard.” Lowe v. Sessions , 872 F.3d 713, 715 (5th Cir. 2017) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
Although Resendez Ramos received a Form I

- 94, which is typically provided to aliens granted humanitarian parole, the form “does not contain the stamp, as r equired by regulation, indicating that [Resendez Ramos] was granted parole under [§] 212(d)(5)(A)” of the INA. Matter of Castillo

Padilla , 25 I. & N. Dec. 257, 262 (BIA 2010) ; see also 8 C.F.R. § 235.1(h)(2)

. Instead, the Form I

- 94 “contains a stamp that explicitly states that [Resendez Ramos] was released from custody after posting a [$1,500] bond and appears to merely memorialize his release on bond.” Castillo

- Padilla , 25 I. & N. Dec.

at 262. Further, “there was no determination that he should be perm itted to come into the country temporarily for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.” Id . at 261 ; see 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A) . “Thus, although [Resendez Ramos] did receive a Form I

- 94, there is no evidence to
indicate that the Gover nment intended to parole him into the United States pursuant to [§] 212(d)(5)(A).” Castillo

- Padilla , 25 I. & N. Dec. at 262. Given the “highly deferential” standard of review, it cannot be said that the BIA abused its discretion in denying the motion to reconsider after deciding that Resendez Ramos’s release from DHS custody pending the resolution of his removal proceedings was consistent with conditional parole under § 236(a)
of the INA

. See Lowe , 872 F.3d at 715. Case: 20-60578 Document: 00516163996 Page: 2 Date Filed: 01/12/2022No. 20

3 Resendez Ramos also asks this court t o grant him a stay of removal. Based on the foregoing, however, he has failed to make the requisite “strong showing that he is likely to succeed on the merits” to be entitled to a stay of the removal proceedings. Nken v. Holder , 556 U.S. 418, 434 (2009).
Resendez Ramos’s petition for review is **DENIED** . His motion for a stay of removal is likewise **DENIED**
