• holding that “[w]here the applicant has not established past persecution,” he or she bears the burden of establishing that relocation is unreasonable within Mexico
• recognizing burden remained with petitioner to show unreasonableness of relocation because domestic abuse that occurred in United States did not constitute past persecution
• stating that the petitioner’s testimony that she would “never be able to escape . . . in Mexico” was insufficient alone to prove an inability to relocate internally
• holding “past persecution must have occurred in the proposed country of removal”
• upholding BIA’s determination that petitioner failed to establish it was unreasonable to relocate within Mexico
• denying Gonzalez-Medina’s previous application for asylum and withholding of removal because “past persecution must have occurred in the proposed country of removal”
