Erna Dwirapita, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).

Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s finding that, even as a member of a disfavored group, Dwirapita does not have a well-founded fear of future persecution because she failed to establish that she faces an individualized risk of harm. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d…
