PER CURIAM.

Zenaida Yamileth Garcia-Rodriguez and her minor daughter, A.G.P.G.,[*] natives and citizens of El Salvador, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing Garcia-Rodriguez's appeal from the immigration judge's decision denying her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have 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. See In re Garcia-Rodriguez (B.I.A. Nov. 4, 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.

[*] A.G.P.G. was a derivative asylum applicant. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(3).
