PER CURIAM:
Estefani Jamilet Abarca Ayala, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing her appeal from the
Immigration Judge’s denial of Abarca Ayala’s applications for asylum and withholding of
removal. We have reviewed the record and Abarca Ayala’s claims and conclude that the
evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative factual findings,
see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B), and that substantial evidence supports the denial of relief,
see INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition
for review. In re Abarca Ayala (B.I.A. May 17, 2023). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
