jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law and due
process claims. Garcia de Rincon v. Dep’t Homeland Security, 539 F.3d 1133,
1136 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.
Torres De Romo’s contention that the IJ erred in reinstating her removal
order without determining her eligibility for adjustment of status fails because she
was not eligible for an adjustment of status because she reentered the United States
without permission after being removed. See Gonzales v. Dep’t of Homeland
Security, 508 F.3d 1227, 1242 (9th Cir. 2007) (abrogating Perez-Gonzalez v.
Ashcroft, 379 F.3d 783 (9th Cir. 2004)).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
