Larios-Reyes v. Lynch, Dec. 6, 2016 - "We find that the BIA erred as a matter of law and hold that Larios-Reyes’s conviction does not constitute the aggravated felony of “sexual abuse of a minor” under the INA because Maryland Criminal Law Article § 3-307 proscribes more conduct than does the generic federal offense. We therefore grant Larios-Reyes’s petition for review, vacate the order of removal, and order his immediate release from Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) custody." [Hats off to Ben Winograd!]
