How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• declining “to speculate whether the I.N.S. would have” concluded that the petitioner’s conviction was a crime involving moral turpitude
• declining to follow a “factual approach” in determining whether an alien qualifies for a INA § 212(c) waiver
• finding an alien ineligible for INA § 212(c) relief for committing a firearms offense with no comparable exclusion provision
• precluding an alien convicted of violating California Penal Code § 245(a)(2)—the same statute pursuant to which [the petitioner] was convicted—from seeking a discretionary deportation waiver available to those convicted of crimes of moral turpitude
• “We cannot say that is absurd that for purposes of discretionary deportation review Congress chooses to treat different crimes differently.”
• petitioner “not denied his constitutional right to equal protection of the law” when the ground for deportation was not “substantially identical” to the ground for exclusion
