Exempts from removability those convicted of only a “single offense”

Posted on August 26, 2010 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

The “personal use exception” of 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1227(a)(2)(B)(i), which exempts from removability those convicted of only a “single offense involving possession for one’s own use of 30 grams or less of marijuana,” does not apply to aliens who have more than one drug conviction. Petitioner was ineligible where his conviction for possession of concentrated cannabis was not his only controlled substance offense. Rodriguez v. Holder – filed August 23, 2010

Convention Against Torture

Posted on February 15, 2010 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

Generally, if you will be tortured, imprisoned, or persecuted for various reasons upon returning to your home country, you may qualify for relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). You can only apply for this form of relief if you are in Removal or Deportation Proceedings.

The implementation of CAT is from an International Treaty which the United States has agreed to be a country subject to the provisions of this treaty. It is officially known as the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment Adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession by General Assembly resolution 39/46 of 10 December 1984 entry into force 26 June 1987, in accordance with article 27 (1). While it has been around for some time, it was only recently that the United States recently ratified its provisions.
