OPINION

The petitioner, a native and citizen of Uruguay, seeks review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision denying his application for withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a), 1 reviewing the agency’s factual determinations using an “extraordinarily deferential standard,” under which they will be upheld “unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.” Garcia v. Att’y Gen., 665 F.3d 496, 502 (3d Cir. 2011) (citations omitted). Having carefully examined the record, we conclude that substantial record evidence supports the BIA’s determination that the domestic violence endured, witnessed, and feared by the petitioner (and his family) was not “persecution” because it was committed neither by the Uruguayan government nor by forces it was unable or unwilling to control. Administrative Record (A.R.) 4-5; Lie v. Ashcroft, 396 F.3d 530, 537 (3d Cir. 2005). 2 The petition *444 er testified that the Uruguayan police were responsive to his family’s complaints against his abusive father, if not to the extent he desired. A.R. 123-25, 135. The various country reports submitted to the agency, while equivocal, can be plausibly read to support the BIA’s conclusion that the official Uruguayan response to domestic violence, while achieving “mixed results,” reflects the country’s “efforts to criminalize such acts and to protect the victims.” A.R. 6. “Where the record supports plausible but conflicting inferences in an immigration case, the ... choice between those inferences is, a fortiori, supported by substantial evidence.” De Hincapie v. Gonzales, 494 F.3d 213, 219 (1st Cir. 2007). Because the agency’s decision is sustainable on this ground, we need not reach its alternative holdings and the petitioner’s arguments against them. This petition for review will be denied.
