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
