for substantial evidence factual findings. Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182,
1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that, even if she
established membership in a particular social group, Respreto-Perez failed to
qualify for asylum or withholding of removal because she did not show that the
government of Colombia was unable or unwilling to protect her. See Nahrvani v.
Gonzales, 399 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir. 2005) (record did not compel conclusion
that government was unable or unwilling to control the perpetrators of the harm).
Accordingly, Respreto-Perez’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See
Zehatye, 453 F.3d at 1190.
In light of our conclusion, we need not address Respreto-Perez’s contention
regarding the agency’s asylum time-bar finding. Further, we reject Respreto-
Perez’s contention that the agency ignored her sister’s testimony, because she has
not rebutted the presumption that the agency considered the entire record. See
Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 603 (9th Cir. 2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
