in alien smuggling. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review
de novo questions of law. Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 586, 591 (9th Cir.
2005). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The IJ correctly determined that Salazar-Armenta is inadmissible due to her
participation in alien smuggling. See 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(E)(i); see also
Altamirano, 427 F.3d at 592.
We lack jurisdiction to consider Salazar-Armenta’s contention that the I-213
form did not demonstrate whether a government agent had informed her of her
rights because she did not raise that issue before the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft,
358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
