PER CURIAM:
Maria Antonia Lovato-Granados and her minor daughter, natives and citizens of El
Salvador, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”)
dismissing their appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying Lovato-Granados’
applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture. We have considered the Petitioners’ claims after thoroughly reviewing
the record and conclude that the record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any
of the agency’s factual findings, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B) (2018), and that substantial
evidence supports the Board’s decision, see INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481
(1992).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.
See In re Lovato-Granados (B.I.A. Nov. 27, 2019). 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.
PETITTION DENIED
