Immigration Law
[11/21]
Jimenez-Gonzalez v. Mukasey
Petition for review of an order of removal based on petitioner's conviction on a state charge of criminal recklessness is granted where criminal recklessness is not a crime of violence for immigration purposes.
[11/20]
Kalilu v. Mukasey
Petition for review of BIA decision is dismissed in part, denied in part, and granted in part where: 1) there was no appellate jurisdiction to review petitioner's claim to asylum and request for voluntary departure; 2) there was no abuse of discretion in the denial of a motion for withholding of removal; 3) remand was required to allow application of new standards for determining whether an asylum application was frivolous, and for reconsideration of a motion to reopen.
[11/20]
Abebe v. Mukasey
Petition for review of denial of relief under section 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act via a discretionary waiver of deportation is denied in part and dismissed in part by the court sitting en banc where: 1) there was a rational basis for section 212(c) being limited to discretionary relief from inadmissibility, but not from deportation; and 2) there was therefore no equal-protection violation in the denial of such relief.
