Crime of Violence VOID for vagueness

The Sixth Circuit granted the petition for review, concluding that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Johnson v. United States, which held that the Armed Career Criminal Act’s residual definition of “violent felony” was void for vagueness, applied to the INA’s parallel definition of “crime of violence.” The court thus held that INA §101(a)(43)(F)’s residual definition of “crime of violence” was unconstitutionally vague.

Another case in the 9th Circuit:

-Immigration Law-
Arizona law criminalizing sexual conduct with a minor under 18 years of age does not meet the federal generic offense of sexual abuse of a minor and is not an aggravated felony for purposes of immigration law.
Rivera-Cuartas v. Holder – filed May 20, 2010

Aggravated felony

A felony

Aggravated felony, crime of violence

Felony: immigration violations

New case

New case: Another aggravated felony ruling: Alien’s state felony conviction for possession of pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture methamphetamine was categorically a “drug trafficking crime” that constitutes an “aggravated felony” under federal law, rendering him statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal. A drug trafficking crime need not involve the use of a firearm to constitute an aggravated felony.

Aggravated felony

Felony meaning

Violent felony
