TODD BLANCHE, Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted October 27, 2026**
Before: SILVERMAN, FORREST, and VANDYKE, Circuit Judges.
Rosalia Vazquez-Cornejo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal
from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for cancellation of
removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial

evidence whether the agency erred in applying the exceptional and extremely
unusual hardship standard to a given set of facts. Gonzalez-Juarez v. Bondi, 137
F.4th 996, 1003 (9th Cir. 2025). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Vazquez-
Cornejo has not shown exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to her United
States citizen daughters. See id. at 1006 (petitioner must show hardship
“substantially beyond the ordinary hardship that would be expected when a close
family member leaves the country” (citation and internal quotation marks
omitted)).
We reject as unsupported by the record Vazquez-Cornejo’s contentions that
the agency misapplied the hardship standard and failed to consider all the evidence
and relevant factors. We reject as both unexhausted and unsupported Vazquez-
Cornejo’s contention that she was deprived of a neutral adjudicator.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
