Opinion

Daniel Pierre, a native and citizen of Haiti, petitions for review of the order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judges decision denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of the merits hearing and all supporting evidence. We conclude that the record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the agencys factual findings, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B), and that substantial evidence supports the Boards decision that Pierre failed to show a nexus to a protected ground. See In re Pierre, (B.I.A. July 2, 2020). We also conclude that substantial evidence supports the denial of protection under the CAT. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. 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.
