Immigration: Removal-Exceptional Hardship-Motion to Reopen and Remand
Staff Report//June 17, 2026//
Petitioner sought review of the BIA’s order denying his motion to reopen and remand removal proceedings. Petitioner unsuccessfully sought cancellation of removal based on alleged exceptional hardship to qualifying relatives. After petitioner got married, he moved to reopen and remand proceedings based on new facts. The BIA concluded that the evidence was insufficient to prove that his wife and children would suffer an exceptional hardship from his removal.
Where the evidence showed that any hardship petitioner’s family would experience would not be beyond that normally experienced by family members following deportation, there was no error in denying the motion.
Petition is denied.
