Does a lawful permanent resident have to be convicted of an aggravated felony?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Young v. Holder, 697 F.3d 976 (9th Cir. 2012):
permanent resident has been convicted of an aggravated felony, not whether he engaged in conduct that falls within the definition of an aggravated felony. Id. at 113132;see also CarachuriRosendo v. Holder, U.S. , 130 S.Ct. 2577, 2586, 177 L.Ed.2d 68 (2010) (explaining that the text of 8 U.S.C. 1229b(a)(3) directs courts to determine the nature of the lawful permanent resident's conviction, not his conduct).
