In Eugenio Alonso-Juarez v. Pamela Bondi , the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit upheld a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals rejecting the Mexican national’s request for cancellation of removal. Mr. Alonso-Juarez entered the United States more than a decade ago and settled in Missouri with his wife. He and his wife have two U.S.-born children. During removal proceedings, he sought cancellation of removal, arguing that deportation would cause “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” to the children, including lower living standards and reduced educational opportunities in Mexico. He also cited injuries suffered after falling from a roof while working. The accident led to a workers compensation claim and medical evaluations related to his ability to return to work. During immigration proceedings, Mr. Alonso-Juarez sought additional time to obtain a medical report tied to his workers compensation case. He argued the report could help show that his injuries would limit his ability to work and that he might face inadequate medical care if deported to Mexico, strengthening his claim of hardship to his children. An immigration judge denied the request for a continuance, noting the record already contained several medical documents about his condition and that only one additional report was pending from a doctor evaluating his workers compensation claim. The Eighth Circuit agreed, ruling that denying the continuance was not a procedural error and that there was no evidence the additional report would have changed the outcome. The court also found substantial evidence supporting the agency’s conclusion that deportation would not create the level of hardship required under the law. A medical report indicated he could return to work without restrictions, undermining his claim that his injuries would prevent him from earning a living in Mexico. The court therefore denied the petition for review.
