review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Zehatye v. Gonzales , 453 F.3d 1182, 1184

- 85 (9 th Cir. 2006). We deny in part a nd dismiss in part the petition for review. Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that petitioners
failed to establish the harm they experienced or fear in El Salvador was or would
be on account of a protected ground

. See Ayala v. Holder , 640 F.3d 1095, 1097 (9 th Cir. 2011) (even if membership in a particular social group is established, an applicant must still show that “persecution was or will be on account of [her] membership in such group”); Zetino v. Holder , 622 F.3d 1007, 1016 (9 th Cir. 2010) (an applicant’s “desire to be free from harassment by criminals motivated by theft or random violence by gang members bears no nexus to a protected ground”).
Petitioners’ contention that the BIA did not address their family social group c laim is not supported by the record. Thus, petitioners ’ asylum and withholding of
removal claim s fail. Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because Ayala

- Calderon failed to show it is more likely than not she would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to El Salvador. See Wakkary v. Holder , 558 F.3d 1049, 1067

- 68 (9th Cir. 2009) (no likelihood of torture).
The rec ord does not support petitioners ’ contentions that the agency failed to3 15

consider evidence or otherwise erred in its analysis of their claims. See Najmabadi
v. Holder , 597 F.3d 983, 990 (9th Cir. 2010) (agency need not write an exegesis on every contention ); Fernandez v. Gonzales , 439 F.3d 592, 603 (9th Cir. 2006) (petitioner did not overcome the presumption that the BIA reviewed the record). We lack jurisdiction to consider petitioners’ contentions as to the IJ ’s evaluation and analysis of their claims that they did not raise to the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft , 358 F.3d 674, 677

- 78 (9th Cir. 2004) (court lacks jurisdiction to consider claims not raised to the BIA).
On February 23, 2016, the court granted a stay of removal

. The stay of
removal remains in place until issuance of the mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part
