the agency’s factual findings. Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir.
2008). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of withholding of removal
where Aguilar failed to establish that the Salvadoran government was or would be
unable or unwilling to control his alleged persecutors. See Nahrvani v. Gonzales,
399 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir. 2005) (record did not compel finding petitioner
faced persecution by forces the government was unable or unwilling to control).
Thus, Aguilar’s withholding of removal claim fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
