Annotate this CasePetitioner, a native of the Philippines, petitioned for review of an order of the BIA directing his removal, as well as the BIA's order denying reconsideration. The court held that the IJ was entitled to rely on petitioner's pleading-stage admission that he had been convicted of a removable drug offense; petitioner failed to carry his burden of proving that he was entitled to relief from removal, or that the IJ violated his due-process rights; and therefore, the petition for review was denied.
