Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Silaya v.
Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because
although the record evidence indicates that widespread gang violence exists in El
Salvador, Ortiz-Canas failed to establish that it is more likely than not that she
would be tortured by the government or with the government’s acquiescence. See
id. at 1073.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
