PER CURIAM:
Ilda Leticia Torres-Nunes and her minor child, natives and citizens of Honduras,
petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing
their appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying Torres-Nunes’ request for
asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We
have thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that the evidence does not compel a
ruling contrary to any of the administrative factual findings, see 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 for the reasons stated
by the Board. See In re Torres-Nunes (B.I.A. Nov. 19, 2020). 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
