Text: Where, as here, the BIA issues a decision and does not adopt the IJ’s decision, we review only the BIA’s decision. Rodriguez Morales v. U.S. Att’y Gen., 488 F.3d 884, 890 (11th Cir. 2007). We review the BIA’s legal conclusions de novo and factual findings under the substantial evidence test. Mejia v. U.S. Att’y Gen. 498 F.3d 1253, 1256 (11th Cir. 2007) (quotation marks and citation omitted). Under this highly deferential standard, we affirm factual determinations “unless [a] reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.” Adefemi v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 1022, 1026-27 (11th Cir. 2004) (en banc).
