The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) refusing to grant him special relief based on humanitarian and compassionate considerations against an exclusion order.

The exclusion order was issued because the applicant made deliberate misrepresentations on his permanent resident application by failing to disclose his aliases, criminal convictions, and removal from the United States.

The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding that the IAD's decision was reasonable and that the applicant's arguments did not raise a reasonable apprehension of bias.

The applicants, a family from Mexico, sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision finding they had an internal flight alternative (IFA) in Mexico City.

The applicants claimed fear of a cartel and that their minor daughter, who has severe disabilities, would face persecution.

The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding the RAD's decision reasonable.

The RAD properly concluded the cartel lacked means and motivation to pursue the family to Mexico City, and the evidence established the minor child would have access to inclusive education, healthcare, and services there.
