Heading: Doron's Age

Text: 27 The BIA stated in its opinion that it was sympathetic to Doron's age and emotional ties to Las Vegas, and found those factors to be relevant, but not of such a character that deportation would impose an extreme hardship. (AR at 4.) The Board stated further that nothing in this record suggests that [Doron] is incapable of making that move to Mexico due to her age or that once back in Mexico, her age would prevent her from leading a productive life. (Id.) The Board summarized its conclusions about Doron's health by noting that these concerns were significant especially in light of [her] age. (Id.) Finally, the Board also stated Doron appears to be energetic and independent and not an individual who would be hampered by age. (Id.) 28 Given the BIA's repeated mention of Doron's age in its opinion, the Board clearly gave close consideration to this factor. The BIA did not abuse its discretion by failing to adequately consider this factor.
