PER CURIAM:
Xavier Alexander Melville Williams, a native and citizen of Trinidad and Tobago,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing
his appeal from the immigration judge’s decision denying deferral of removal under the
Convention Against Torture. We deny the petition for review.
We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Williams’
merits hearing and all supporting evidence. We conclude that the record evidence does not
compel a ruling contrary to any of the agency’s factual findings, see 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(b)(4)(B), and that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision, Nasrallah v.
Barr, 590 U.S. 573, 584 (2020) (stating standard of review).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. 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
