SUMMARY ORDER
Petitioner James Pamphile, a native and citizen of Haiti, seeks review of a May 15, 2018, decision of the BIA affirming a September 12, 2017, decision of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying Pamphiles application for withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). In re James Pamphile, No. A XXX XX1 606 (B.I.A. May 15, 2018), affg No. A XXX XX1 606 (Immig. Ct. N.Y. City Sept. 12, 2017). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history.
We have reviewed both the IJs and BIAs decisions “for the sake of completeness.” Wangchuck v. Dept of Homeland Sec., 448 F.3d 524, 528 (2d Cir. 2006). The Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C), provides that “no court shall have jurisdiction to review any final order of removal against an alien who is removable by reason of having committed a criminal offense covered in section ․ 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii),” that is, an aggravated felony as set forth in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43). See 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii). This “criminal alien bar,” Foster v. INS, 376 F.3d 75, 79 (2d Cir. 2004), applies here because Pamphile was ordered removed for aggravated felonies. Accordingly, our review of his removal order is limited to “constitutional claims or questions of law.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D). However, this jurisdictional limitation does not apply to our review of CAT claims. See Nasrallah v. Barr, ––– U.S. ––––, 140 S. Ct. 1683, 1690, 1692 1694, 207 L.Ed.2d 111 (2020). We have previously held that the jurisdictional limit does apply to withholding of removal claims, see Ortiz-Franco v. Holder, 782 F.3d 81, 90 (2d Cir. 2015), but the Supreme Court left open the question of whether we retain jurisdiction over the denial of withholding of removal in Nasrallah. For purposes of this case, we assume arguendo that the criminal alien bar does not apply to either withholding of removal or CAT relief, and we deny the petition on the merits as discussed below.
Withholding of Removal
We find no error in the agencys conclusion that Pamphile is ineligible for withholding of removal. “[T]he Attorney General may not remove an alien to a country if the Attorney General decides that the aliens life or freedom would be threatened in that country because of the aliens race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3). An applicant is ineligible for withholding of removal if he has been convicted of a “particularly serious crime.” Id. § 1231(b)(3)(B)(ii). Where, as here, an applicants conviction is not per se particularly serious, id. § 1231(b)(3)(B), the agency considers the following factors: “(1) the nature of the conviction, (2) the circumstances and underlying facts of the conviction, (3) the type of sentence imposed and (4) whether the type and circumstances of the crime indicate that the alien will be a danger to the community.” Nethagani v. Mukasey, 532 F.3d 150, 155 (2d Cir. 2008) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted).
The IJ applied the proper factors and reasonably determined that Pamphiles conviction for attempted assault in the first degree in violation of New York Penal Law §§ 110, 120.10(1) was particularly serious under the circumstances. Pamphile pleaded guilty to attempted assault under this provision, which requires “intent to cause serious physical injury” and causing such injury “by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument,” for which he received a 42-month sentence of imprisonment. To the extent that Pamphile argues the agency should have placed greater weight on an assessment that he posed a low risk of violence and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, the weight afforded to the evidence is within the agencys discretion. See Xiao Ji Chen v. U.S. Dept of Justice, 471 F.3d 315, 342 (2d Cir. 2006); see Y.C. v. Holder, 741 F.3d 324, 334 (2d Cir. 2013). There is also no evidence in the record, contrary to Pamphiles assertion, that the IJ improperly considered Pamphiles history of anger management treatment in determining that Pamphile had committed a “particularly serious crime.” For these reasons, we find no error and affirm the decision of the BIA to deny Pamphiles petition for withholding of removal.
Deferral of Removal Under the CAT
An applicant for CAT deferral must “establish that it is more likely than not that he ․ would be tortured if removed to the proposed country of removal.” 8 C.F.R. §§ 1208.16(c)(2), 1208.17(a). Torture is defined as “any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person ․ by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.” Id. § 1208.18(a)(1). We review the denial of CAT relief “under the deferential substantial-evidence standard.” Nasrallah, 140 S. Ct. at 1692–93.
The agency concluded that Pamphile failed to establish that he would more likely than not be tortured on account of his status as a gay, HIV-positive, criminal deportee. The record does not compel a contrary conclusion. The evidence before the agency reflected that criminal deportees are generally not subject to mandatory detention upon arrival in Haiti. And the absence of medical care or different medical care does not, without more, reflect an intent to torture. See Pierre v. Gonzales, 502 F.3d 109, 118 (2d Cir. 2007); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1208.18(a)(1) (“Torture is defined as any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person ․ at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.”). Although there is evidence that LGBTI individuals in Haiti suffer discrimination and sometimes physical violence, the State Department Report considered by the agency indicates there were no reports of Haitian officials actively perpetrating or condoning violence against members of the LGBTI community. We defer to the agencys weighing of evidence. See Y.C., 741 F.3d at 332; Siewe v. Gonzales, 480 F.3d 160, 167 (2d Cir. 2007) (“Where there are two permissible views of the evidence, the factfinders choice between them cannot be clearly erroneous.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). Because Pamphile had the burden to show that he would more likely than not suffer intentional harm rising to the level of torture, the agency did not err in denying his CAT claim on this record. See 8 C.F.R. §§ 1208.16(c)(2), 1208.18(a)(1).
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. All pending motions and applications are DENIED and stays VACATED.
