Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Benito Cruz Camacho, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an immigration judge's ("U") determination under 8 C.F.R. § 1208.31(a) that he did not have a reasonable fear of persecution or torture and thus is not entitled to relief from his reinstated' removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the I J's factual findings, Andrade-Garcia v. Lynch, 828 F.3d 829, 833 (9th Cir. 2016), and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ's conclusion that Cruz Camacho failed to establish a reasonable possibility of future persecution in Mexico on account of a protected ground. See Bolshakov v. INS, 133 F.3d 1279, 1281 (9th Cir. 1998) (no nexus to a protected ground where the evidence "at most shows that [petitioners] had been the victim of criminal activity"); Ayala v. Holder, 640 F.3d 1095, 1097 (9th Cir. 2011) (even if membership in a particular social group is established, an applicant must still show that "persecution was or will be on account of his membership in sueh group" (emphasis in original)).
Substantial evidence also supports the conclusion that Cruz Camacho failed to demonstrate a reasonable possibility of torture by or with the consent or acquiescence of the Mexican government. See Andrade-Garcia, 828 F.3d at 836-37.
We reject Cruz Camacho's contentions that the IJ failed to provide a reasoned explanation tor his decision or otherwise erred in his analysis.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
