Fifth Circuit on aggravated felony: Perez-Gonzalez v. Holder

"Juan Perez-Gonzalez petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision that he is to be removed based on having committed an aggravated felony. Because the record does not show that the crime for which he pled guilty was an aggravated felony, we GRANT the petition for review, REVERSE, and REMAND for further proceedings." - Perez-Gonzalez v. Holder, Jan. 12, 2012.  [Hats way off to Javier N. Maldonado of San Antonio, Texas!]
