USCA11 Case: 20-12118 Date Filed: 04/05/2021 Page: 1 of 9 [DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 20-12118 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ Agency No. A208-891-263 INGRY YINETH GIL FORERO, LUCIANA PINTO GIL, ANGIE KATERINE GIL FORERO, LUISA YIRETH GIL FORERO, Petitioners, versus U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent. ________________________ Petition for Review of a Decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ________________________ (April 5, 2021) Before WILSON, ROSENBAUM, and LUCK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: USCA11 Case: 20-12118 Date Filed: 04/05/2021 Page: 2 of 9 Angie Gil Forero and her sister, Ingry Gil Forero, natives and citizens of Colombia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’s decision to dismiss their appeal of the immigration judge’s denial of their applications for asylum.1 We dismiss the petitions for lack of jurisdiction because the Gils failed to exhaust their administrative remedies on one of the independent reasons the immigration judge gave for denying their asylum claims. FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY In 2014, Angie Gil Forero met Yuber Caranton. 2 Caranton told her a fake name, fake occupation, and that he was living with his uncle, Jhon Ruiz, a lieutenant police officer who was actually Caranton’s romantic partner.

Angie’s minor daughter, Luciana Pinto Gil, is a derivative beneficiary of Angie’s application. Ingry’s minor daughter, Luisa Yireth Gil Forero, is a derivative beneficiary of Ingry’s application. 2 Caranton’s first name is spelled differently throughout the record. Because Angie was closest to him, we use the spelling from her personal statement. 2 USCA11 Case: 20-12118 Date Filed: 04/05/2021 Page: 3 of 9 Angie became pregnant with Caranton’s daughter. Around November 2015, Caranton told Angie that “he had to go to work for two weeks.” While he was gone, Angie had the baby. Angie and Caranton never reunited, and their relationship ended. Angie later learned that in those two weeks, Caranton had been with Ruiz and had stolen a motorcycle, watches, money, and some papers from Ruiz. After the theft, Ruiz began sending Angie insulting and threatening messages. He primarily sent the messages through Facebook, although he also called twice. Ruiz accused Angie of “taking [Caranton’s] side” and of ending his romantic relationship with Caranton. He told Angie that because “he was in charge of the police, he …
