Martinez-Martinez submitted with her motion, including the psychological

evaluation of her U.S. citizen son, and acted within its broad discretion in

determining that the evidence was insufficient to warrant reopening. See Lopez v.

Ashcroft, 366 F.3d 799, 807 n.6 (9th Cir. 2004) (BIA is required to “consider the

issues raised, and announce its decision in terms sufficient to enable a reviewing

court to perceive that it has heard and thought and not merely reacted”) (citation
