FREEMAN , Circuit Judge

. Fernando Flores Medina petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision affirming the denial of his Application for Cancellation of Removal. For the reasons set forth below, w e will d ismiss the petition

. I. Flores Medina is a native and citizen of Mexico

. He entered the United States i n J anuary 2000

. The Department of Homeland Security commenced removal proceedings against him in December 2010. It issued a Notice to Appear charg ing him as removable pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(A)(i) as a non

- citizen present in the United States with out having been lawfully admitted. Flores Medina admitted to the charge, and the
I mmigration J udge (“IJ”) found him removable

. In September 2019, Flores Medina filed an Application for Cancellation of Removal and Adjustment of Status under 8 U.S.C. § 12 29b(b)(1)

. T o be eligible for cancellation of removal, a petitioner must establish that he or she: (A) has been physically present in the United States for a continuous period of not less than 10 years immediately preceding the date of such application; (B) has been a person of good moral character during such period; (C) has not been convicted of an offense under section 1182(a)(2), 1227(a)(2), or 1227(a)(3) of this title, subject to paragraph (5); and (D) establishes that removal would result in excepti onal and extremely unusual hardship to the alien ’ s spouse, parent, or child, who is a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1). The IJ denied the application because Flores Medina had not met his burden of proof to establish (1) his physical presence in the United States for the requisite period of time, (2) his good moral character during that period of time , and (3)3

that his removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hards hip to a qualifying relative. Flores Medina appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals ( “ BIA ” )

. In December 2022, the BIA affirmed the IJ’s denial of the Application for Cancellation of Removal because Flores Medina had not met his burden of proof to establish exception al and extremely unusual hardship. The BIA reasoned that because the hardship issue was dispositive, it was un necessary to address the other arguments on appeal. Flores Medina timely petition ed this Court for review of the BIA’s decis ion pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1228(b)

. II. “This Court lacks jurisdiction to review the denial of discretionary relief, including
cancellation of removal. We may, however, review constitutional claims or questions of law raised upon a petition for review[.]” Pareja v. Att’y Gen. , 615 F.3d 180, 18 6 (3d Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). Therefore, our jurisdiction “is limited to colorable claims or questions of law.” Id. (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). Challenges to an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship determination ordinarily involve questions of fact and discretion over which we have no jurisdiction. See Patel v. Att’y Gen. , 619 F. 3d 230, 233 (3d Cir. 2010). However, “where the BIA is alleged to have made a hardship determination based on an erroneous legal standard or on fact

finding which is flawed by an error of law, our jurisdiction to review that determination is secure.” Pareja , 615 F.3d at 188 (internal quotation marks and citations omitted)

. We generally exercise plenary review ov er the BIA’s legal determinations. See id. at 192.4 III. Flores Medina asserts that the BIA applied incorrect legal standard s when making its hardship determination. S pecifically , he contends that the BIA (1) violated 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(d)(3)(i) by making findings of fact de novo , and (2) failed to review the IJ’s findings of fact properly . Neither of these is a colorable legal claim.
T he BIA did not make de novo finding s of fact. After review ing the IJ ’s finding
that Flores Medi na’s son does not have any medical problems , it simply held that the son would not be subject to qualifying hardship even if the IJ had credited Flores Medina’s medical evidence. Flores Medina’s remaining arguments challenge the agency’s weighing of the evidence in support of hardship , and w e lack jurisdiction to address them.
See Hernandez

- Morales v. Att’y Gen. , 977 F.3d 247, 249 (3d Cir. 2020) (“[A] disagreement about weighing hardship factors is a discretionary judgment call, not a legal question. ”)
