Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Gregoria Floridalma Ajiataz Mazariegos, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision adopting and affirming an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) order denying asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence and will uphold the IJ’s decision unless the evidence compels a contrary conclusion. INS v. Elias Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481, 483-84, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s conclusion that Mazariegos did not establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of an enumerated ground. Id. at 481-482, 112 S.Ct. 812. Mazariegos’ claim centers on her father’s involvement with the National Police. Her father, however, as well as her four brothers, continue to reside in
