CA1 on 'Particularly Serious Crime' - Velerio-Ramirez v. Lynch
Velerio-Ramirez v. Lynch, Dec. 11, 2015 - "Inconsistent characterization of the governing law by the immigration authorities and insufficient analysis by the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") lead us, in an abundance of caution, to remand this petition to the BIA. ... we remand to the BIA to interpret in the first instance and apply former 8 U.S.C. § 1253(h), as amended by AEDPA § 413(f), to a non-aggravated felon." [Hats off to Mary Holper, Manny Vargas, Trina Realmuto, Khaled Alrabe and Philip Torrey!]
