PER CURIAM: Maria Laura Salinas De Hernandez and her son, natives and citizens of El Salvador, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing their appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying Salinas De Hernandez’s applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.

We have thoroughly reviewed the record and the Petitioners’ 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 Diaz de Gomez v. Wilkinson, 987 F.3d 359, 362 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. * In re Salinas De Hernandez (B.I.A. Apr. 10, 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

* The Petitioners’ brief did not raise any issues particular to A.J.S.H. and this opinion has no bearing on any independent claims for relief advanced by him.
