PER CURIAM:
Sarahi Alejandra Calderon-Cardoza and her minor child, natives and citizens of
Honduras, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board)
dismissing Calderon-Cardoza’s appeal from the Immigration Judge’s denial of her
applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture (CAT). We have thoroughly reviewed the record 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 for the reasons stated by the Board. In re Calderon-Cardoza (B.I.A. June 21,
2022). 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
