No. 20-60290

the IJ’s decision only to the extent it influenced the BIA. Shaikh v. Holder, 588 F.3d 861, 863 (5th Cir. 2009). Questions of law are reviewed de novo and factual findings are reviewed for substantial evidence. Id. Under the substantial evidence standard, “[t]he alien must show that the evidence was so compelling that no reasonable factfinder could conclude against it.” Wang v. Holder, 569 F.3d 531, 537 (5th Cir. 2009).

Rodriguez-Granados fails to challenge the BIA’s determination that the three proposed particular social groups she raised in the immigration courts were not cognizable. By failing to brief any challenge to the BIA’s determination, she has abandoned it, see Soadjede v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 830, 833 (5th Cir. 2003), and we thus deny the petition for review in part, see Wang, 569 F.3d at 537.

Instead, Rodriguez-Granados now contends that her membership in two entirely new proposed particular social groups warrants relief. But because “8 U.S.C. § 1252(d) requires that a petitioner exhaust all administrative remedies available as of right for this court to have jurisdiction over an issue, [the petitioner’s] failure to raise these issues before the BIA jurisdictionally bars us from addressing them.” Omari v. Holder, 562 F.3d 314, 317 (5th Cir. 2009). We likewise lack jurisdiction to address Rodriguez- Granados’s argument, first raised in this court, that she was entitled to humanitarian asylum. See id. As to these issues, we therefore dismiss the petition in part for lack of jurisdiction.

DISMISSED in part for lack of jurisdiction; DENIED in part.
