Case: 18-13991 Date Filed: 10/03/2019 Page: 1 of 11 [DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 18-13991 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ Agency Nos. AXXX-XX6-495; AXXX-XX6-496 VILMA ISABEL CASTILLO MUNOZ, ADA GISSELL CASTELLANOS CASTILLO, Petitioners, versus U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent. ________________________ Petition for Review of a Decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ________________________ (October 3, 2019) Before MARTIN, JILL PRYOR, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Case: 18-13991 Date Filed: 10/03/2019 Page: 2 of 11 Vilma Castillo Munoz and her daughter, Ada Castellanos Castillo, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision affirming the denial of their applications for asylum. After careful consideration, we deny the petition. I. Castillo Munoz is a 43-year old native and citizen of Honduras. She married her husband, Lelis Armando Castellanos Rivera, in 1995. They lived together in El Progreso, Honduras, along with their daughter, Ada Castellanos Castillo, for a number of years. Castellanos Rivera began working as a loan shark in 2012. In 2014, he began receiving death threats by phone.

Castillo Munoz agreed to be interviewed and told the reporters her husband went to collect money from Guzman Rodriguez before he was killed. She also gave a statement to police officers identifying Guzman Rodriguez as the woman who called Castellanos Rivera. She then led the officers to Guzman Rodriguez’s home, where they arrested Guzman Rodriguez on the spot. Pavon Robles was arrested the same day, and Martinez Orellana the day after. A few days after the arrests, Castillo Munoz began receiving death threats by phone. She suspected the callers were family members of the arrested, although she did not know for certain. The callers told her, “[Y]ou’re going to die, you fucking whore” and said the “same thing that happened to [her] husband” would happen to her. Castillo Munoz did not report these threats to the police because “the Honduran police doesn’t [sic] do anything. They only move and start doing anything if the people ...
