PER CURIAM.
Rafael Segovia-Yanes, a citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming the denial of his application
for cancellation of removal. Segovia argues that removing him would cause
“exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” to his American-citizen children. 8
U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(D). We will not consider this argument because Segovia

failed to raise it before the Board. See Bakor v. Barr, 958 F.3d 732, 739 (8th Cir.
2020), cert. denied, 141 S. Ct. 2566 (2021); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (requiring
exhaustion of administrative remedies before judicial review). We accordingly
dismiss the petition for review.
